It is very very sad. If we weren't having to put our energies into protecting our own rights from the AHRC and our own government, we could be fighting this, and so much more on a global level. But we have to get our own house in order first. It is infuriating.

Thank you Bronwyn. You are right that the ‘men’ don’t care. And they don.’t care because it has nothing to do with them. Just as men don’t care about ‘gender’ because that also has nothing to do with them unless they want to dress,up in fetishistic garments that give them a kick. Sorry I got a bit off topic. I answered a question this week about my idea of hell. I said having to wear a burqa, all day ever day.

I would rather be dead. I don't honestly know why this is permissable in the UK. Public abuse & humiliation of women and girls - and yes, little girls forced to wear headscarves is a common sight in parts of East London. Hijabs & burqas should be banned in the UK. If i can't walk into a Mall or bank wearing my cycle helmet, why are complete cover ups permittef?
