Mariska Hargitay documentary on rape kit crisis puts survivors front and center – Women’s Media Center

The standards and practices accepted as normal

have surfaced to expose the reality of apathetic ,

often abusive treatment in times of extreme trauma.

As harsh as we know this situation is for the feminine ,

I know men have to be heard , and healed of sexual

force that few seek help for.

What remains within both? Rage …Children carry this

in ways that are not acknowledged ..

One goal I have is to see a safe healing place for our

women and children , fleeing abuse.. Privatized

due to the inept abuse of current systems , our local

women healers getting to the heart of the matter , thus

returning a family within that woman , supported

uplifted , loved thru a shameful power trip , avoiding

more abuses ❤️ Empowered !

Mothers are being abused during childbirth. We need our own #MeToo | Sally Gimson | Opinion | The Guardian

1st was over 2 weeks, OB told nite to hold me

back, after telling me he drove a Porsche and

would be right there .

She told him to get his ass there , I was having

a baby .

I delivered a non alert, 9 lb 3 Oz , 22″ baby

a shade of purple blue , with his cord wrapped

around his neck 3 times ..

After telling me the facts , I sent the RN labor

delivery nurse a dozen roses , and the Dr a letter

explaining why I considered him at fault , nearly

costing my 1st born his life , in requesting nurse

hold me back.

Of course with his recent death , he was the BEST

OBGYN , ever , just like his Dad .

Cut to accommodate a 14 ” head , I was not sutured

correctly ..
