Description
VIEW 8 – DIGITAL EDITION
With a focus on the climate emergency in this edition and how the dependence on fossil fuel causes more harm to women through war, famine, scarcity, and rape, this issue scrutinises the intersection of climate justice and human rights, bringing home uncomfortable truths about how climate and economic injustice are affecting women more and deeper.
Our eighth edition is out to the end of October and features the personal stories of women who have been incarcerated because they have been actively, peacefully campaigning against this Government’s fossil fuel policies. They write candidly about the experiences of injustice from being arrested, detained to remanded and ultimately sentenced and the futility of their time behind bars. We’re honoured to feature the insight of former NHS Director and accomplished personal development coach Zoe Cohen who writes about her experience at HMP Foston Hall and what she witnessed – the carceral black hole that is our women’s prison estate.
Also in this issue, we delve into he phenomenon of Sexsomnia – this bizarre diagnosis that is being used as a defence in rape cases. This sleep walking condition that is getting men off rape charges by claiming that their victims consented although the were in a state of Sexomnia. We meet Jade, a survivor who is suing the CPS for neglect after the massacre of her rape case in their hands following dubious expert testimonies from experts who had never actually met her. Compelling and harrowing reading.
Anna Delvey – notorious for her fraud and deception offences has reinvented herself as a successful artist and is fighting her extradition from the US to Germany. Donning a blingy accessorised GPS tag and restricted under house arrest, Anna speaks candidly to The View about her ideas for prison reform and why women should be treated differently and through a gendered lens.
