I've just seen on Katherine Deves twitter that Reem Alsalem is under attack for supporting the rights of women and girls.

Information collected in this form is for the purposes of endorsing the public letter "Let the UN Special Rapporteur on VAWG Deliver her Mandate" only.
Do you agree to have your name published in the public domain and on the letter addressed to the relevant bodies/actors in the UN ? Please note the email submitted through this form will not be publicised.

If you sign, but don’t tick this box, will a signature still count do you know?

AWID “sex is a social construct” 😵

Eh? So the concept that only female bodies give birth, only male bodies can produce sperm, only female bodies have periods etc - that’s all just a social construct??? And we’re expected to take this organisation seriously??!

DrBlackbird if you don’t tick the box then you just get an error message, so I assume without the tick, it won’t count

I signed this last night (bump!)

It's only your name & country published so unless you have a genuinely unique name it would be hard to link.

Plus it's only a petition asking for the UN to support their own rapporteur! hardly a hate crime 🙃

AutumnCrow · 17/06/2023 15:50

I signed it last night. Important stuff.

MassiveWordSalad · 17/06/2023 16:57

I've signed, thanks for bringing this to our attention @Wellies54

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 17/06/2023 18:27

I've signed. She was a star when she spoke about the GRR in Scotland . Thank you for telling us @Wellies54

Florissante · 17/06/2023 18:30

Signed.

Rightsraptor · 17/06/2023 18:38

Am about to sign.

I know, @Hagosaurus, if sex is a social construct could someone please explain it to me?

I've had 6 inpatient hospital admissions in my life and only one of those would have been possible if my embryonic body had developed along the other reproductive pathway. Therefore, five were directly caused by having a female body. Yet it's a 'social construct'...

Pass the gin.

FigRollsAlly · 17/06/2023 21:05

Definitely worth signing, will do so now.

Wellies54 · 17/06/2023 21:18

Thank you for signing! I've been so impressed by her and it's sadly inevitable that she's now being hounded. Hopefully she'll see that women around the world support her and are grateful for her work.

I can’t access it either

ArabeIIaScott · 19/06/2023 09:29

Not on Twitter so can't ask Katherine Deves about the letter, but you could write directly to the UN in support of Reem Alsalem?

IwantToRetire · 19/06/2023 16:21

@Wellies54 it looks like Google have blocked this presumably based on complaints. Do you know if it is available elsewhere. Or if anyone has a copy of the content let alone the signatures.
