Ont Bill 26 passed last night & now no one will have to go through what I did."When a (prospective) e'er reached out to Dr.Macfarlane..& she told them the real circumstances (of the termination),it was Dr.Macfarlane, not the perpetrator, who was punished by @UWindsor" @cbmsilence

If you’ve been following the Hockey Canada assault trials and finding it difficult to witness, you’re not alone. These trials are a stark reminder of how deeply embedded rape culture remains. Here are four books offering critical insights: @ProfJulieMac @JulieSLalonde @sarratch

“As continuing revelations about sexual violence by well-known and powerful men unfold in the media, the same questions are being asked either implicitly or explicitly in each story that is told.” —@ProfJulieMac, Going Public btlbooks.com/book/going-publ…

APTN “Unmuted” investigates the use of non-disclosure agreements to cover up anti- Indigenous discrimination. For Teddy fans, he has a starring role… Come on Canada, catch up and legislate to ban this abuse @cbmsilence youtu.be/WFONHEy92ZQ?si=YD8v…

The British Parliament has made a commitment to address the use of NDAs in assault & harassment. @MarkJCarney , will you make a similar commitment to stop the law fr protecting abusers? #cdnpoli @cbmsilence @ProfJulieMac #metoo

Forgiveness was in the news this week. And we’ve spent quite a bit of time talking about it on @lockedupliving due the fortuitous selection of guests. We had a conversation with clinical and political psychologist @erborris who’s an expert on political forgiveness. To make forgiveness possible, it often requires accountability and justice. What’s it like when you’ve been deceived into thinking there’s been some sort of reckoning? For our podcast this week, me and @wolvercoteman spoke with @ProfJulieMac . Among other achievements, Julie has taken on Justin Welby and the Anglican Church for its cover up of sexual abuse by paedophilic priests. Along with Zelda Perkins, Julie co-founded Can’t Buy My Silence an organisation which supports people thinking of breaking their Non-Disclosure Agreements and campaigns to make organisations take their responsibilities more seriously.

This is an extraordinary statement. Moral admission of culpability and guilt is definitively, undeniably demonstrated by Welby’s resignation. The same power used in the beatings, is used in the pulpits.

The resignation of @JustinWelby is a first step in recognition and accountability by @churchofengland for failing survivors for decades and still today with cruel litigation tactics and NDAs. @HseofSurvivors @cbmsilence

@ProfJulieMac @ZeldaZeldaluna @cbmsilence Never under estimate the power of #Whistleblowers - they will not be silenced time to ban #NDAs
#WhistleblowersUK demonstrates the value of whistleblowing to UK national security by making sure that wrongdoing is investigated and threats intercepted. Thanks to #MoD@camillahmturner⁩ ⁦@Telegraph⁩ ⁦@10DowningStreettelegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08…

Please help us get to 500 signatures to give the critical issue of NDAs discussion time in the House. We are fighting against a culture of secrecy and silencing and we need your help to break that down, piece by piece!

Respect. Her assailant even used the same explanation as mine “my penis will cure you”. Mine was convicted after a long extradition battle - I was extremely lucky because another woman with an identical story who came forward after I wrote about it in the @ChurchTimes
“Once I got to the station it had started to filter through what had happened, and I… started screaming, at Dalston Kingsland station [in east London], at the top of the platform.” Woman who sued therapist for sexual assault says she wanted justice: theguardian.com/society/arti…

Just heard of a builder making purchasers sign NDAs to get their deposits back. After the builder has not built the homes for 5 years. Using this as a way to hide a bad record. @hcraontario
