I'm reading the IPPF's toolkit for comprehensive sexuality education.
In the "knowledge" section for "Under 10" it says "violence should not be used to solve our disagreements with someone."
There's a certain President who might need to go back to elementary school. In fact, there is a whole lot else in this toolkit that he should have learned long ago. The world would have been a better place.

Instead of paying reparations, countries whose development was funded through colonial exploitation continue to have their unsustainable lifestyles subsidised by the world’s poorest people. #SexualRights
Debt has been another key mechanism for continuing the flow of wealth from previously colonised countries to the wealthy colonisers of the Global North. #SexualRights #Economy #Politics

The relationship between #health, #race, #class and #gender is rooted in colonial, patriarchal and capitalist control over women’s sexuality, reproduction and bodies and produces distinct experiences of oppression that are often fatal. #SRHR #sexualrights #CERD
SRI works to advance the right to #bodilyautonomy for all, including and especially for marginalized people, and resists such attempts to separate or isolate some groups or issues from that broader struggle.
In our view, obstacles to legal gender recognition constitute institutional gender-based violence. In this context, we believe that engaging with this mandate-holder sends the signal that her narrative is acceptable.
SRI understands #GBV to go beyond interpersonal violence and to also include the whole gamut of economic, social, psychological and political structures and norms that maintain binary gender categories and roles.
We told the Special Rapporteur that we fundamentally reject her arguments seeking to pit ‘women’s rights’ - for instance, the right to access shelters for survivors of violence - against ‘trans rights’, and to treat them as separate or competing.
The Special Rapporteur’s position clearly undermines trans rights and contradicts established human rights standards and her own mandate - all in the name of feminism.
Last February, as a feminist coalition, we published a statement on the Special Rapporteur on #VAW, Reem Alsalem, harmful position on gender identity.
