Grok from private chat (did better there) Detailed facts on the IAFN (International Association of Forensic Nurses) and the issues raised: The IAFN has long advocated for survivors of sexual violence through position statements on violence as a public health issue, standards for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) care, and related policies. Examples: - Violence Is a Public Health and Healthcare Issue (2022): forensicnurses.org/wp-conten… - Full list of Position Papers: forensicnurses.org/page/Posi… (Includes statements on adult/adolescent sexual assault patients, pediatric sexual abuse, emergency contraception post-assault, intimate partner violence, etc.) Yet, despite well-documented reports of rape, gang rape, and sexualized torture by Hamas on October 7, 2023 (including UN findings), the IAFN issued no specific official statement condemning or addressing it. Searches of their site and position papers turn up nothing on this topic. Then, in 2025–2026: - The Board revealed the organization was the victim of major fraud by a former employee (~$844k in unauthorized transactions a fraudulent $400k loan). It's under federal criminal investigation. Full statement (Nov 13, 2025): forensicnurses.org/wp-conten… - This, plus membership/funding issues, led to "radical restructuring" and ultimately dissolution of IAFN as a legal entity by early 2026. Programs (certifications, education, etc.) were transferred to partners like the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) and ANCC. March 23, 2026 Restructure and Dissolution document: forensicnurses.org/wp-conten… The organization that helped build forensic nursing standards for survivors worldwide is now gone as an independent entity. All verifiable directly on forensicnurses.org. Survivors deserve consistent, non-political care — regardless of who the perpetrator is.

For anyone interested, I am going to drop some tidbits of info for you. I don’t have it in me to pull together a thread about this and frankly I don’t have time right now either. But if you want to investigate, and I really wish some journos would: Google the International Association of Forensic Nurses position statement on sexual violence. Then google their official statement on the sexual violence of October 7. You will find there isn’t one. Then google IAFN dissolution. Because one of those western women using survivors as a rung in their professional ladder committed such an enormous fraud that the org is under federal investigation and the board recently dissolved the org, leaving thousands of forensic nurses around the world in limbo. This org that did so much good for survivors for decades, who built the forensic nursing specialty, who worked so hard to make acute medical forensic exams for survivors a basic standard of care was destroyed in a matter of a couple of years by woke western women who virtue signal their care for survivors but are actually using survivors and us that care for them to enrich themselves. Google all of it. Please.

To ensure the long-term vitality of the forensic nursing specialty, the International Association of Forensic Nurses and ENA announced on Monday a formal transfer of IAFN's membership, continuing education courses and practice resources to ENA. “It is a tremendous privilege and responsibility to carry on IAFN’s legacy, and we will do so by welcoming IAFN members into our community and establishing ENA as the new home for forensic nurses and the vital resources they rely on.” - ENA Interim Executive Director Bridget Walsh “After decades in forensic nursing and as a leader in IAFN, I understand deeply what it means to have a true community of practice – one that safeguards the ethical core of nursing while giving the specialty the platform it needs to grow. Finding that community in ENA was not accidental, it was the result of intentional, values-driven work and our history of successful partnership." - IAFN CEO Jennifer Pierce-Weeks.

A Marinha do Brasil mobilizou navios e uma aeronave da Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) para localizar uma embarcação com seis tripulantes que desapareceu na última sexta-feira (16). O barco foi visto pela última vez na região de Ponta Negra, distrito de Maricá, no Rio de Janeiro, quando parou de emitir sua posição e ficou completamente sem comunicação. A operação de salvamento foi iniciada no sábado (17) e segue padrões técnicos que consideram o efeito dos ventos e das correntes de deriva na área. As buscas contam com o apoio de navios-patrulha, e alertas por rádio estão sendo enviados a todas as embarcações que navegam nas proximidades para solicitar auxílio na localização. A Marinha informou que um sinal de busca e salvamento foi emitido imediatamente após a confirmação da perda de sinal. Um Inquérito Administrativo sobre Acidentes e Fatos da Navegação (IAFN) será instaurado para apurar detalhadamente as causas do ocorrido. As autoridades solicitam que qualquer informação relevante sobre o caso seja comunicada pelos telefones 185 (emergências marítimas) ou diretamente ao Comando do 1º Distrito Naval. 🎥 Reprodução: Marinha do Brasil 📺 Confira na JP News e Panflix 👉 bit.ly/3SS2fab #JovemPanNews #RioDeJaneiro #Marinha #Desaparecimento
