A must watch.
A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful.

Don’t repeat the myth - this isn’t about free speech. Buffer zones protect women from harassment because others don’t respect their choice to have an abortion.
Time to write into our English law human rights protection for women to make that choice so we don’t have to keep fighting this stuff ….

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.
