Description
We revisit the forced adoption scandals of the 1950s and ’60s, shedding light on generations of women whose children were taken in the name of morality and state control. Alongside these historical injustices, we hear directly from the mothers of imprisoned Palestine Action campaigners, women whose unwavering strength fuels a new wave of resistance.
Looking ahead, we explore the potential of artificial intelligence to combat violence against women and girls (VAWG), while critically examining the ethical dilemmas and limitations of tech-driven justice. A strong sustainability thread also runs through this issue, featuring the story of Kim Marlston, who left the fashion industry to become a sustainable flower farmer. Her latest project, transforming discarded festival tents into shelters for homeless women, is a testament to creativity and care.
In a rare and raw testimony, Constance Marten shares her experience of trial and conviction in her own words, an unfiltered narrative that challenges media portrayals and invites a deeper understanding of the human cost of public judgment.
Visually bold and editorially intimate, Issue 14 is rooted in lived experience and amplifies the voices of women we cannot afford to forget.
Introducing The Long View, a new feature devoting over 2,000 words to deep investigative writing on oppression and violence against women. In Beloved and the Boundaries of Being, we examine the horrific parallels between animal laboratory experiments and the treatment of Black women under carceral systems.
Also in this issue: a powerful exposé on the brutal reality faced by women with cancer in prison, Busting the Myth of Healthcare Parity, an investigation that uncovers systemic neglect in women’s prison healthcare.
