The UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls (UNSRVAWG) recently issued a call for submissions focusing on violence against mothers - including how systems, institutions, and societal norms can create or reinforce harm. This call recognises that mothers experience unique, sex-based forms of violence that are often overlooked, and seeks evidence to better inform international human rights standards and state obligations.

The ethical breach by mocking a woman’s sexuality while posing as defenders of inclusivity is not just unprofessional, it is discriminatory and hypocritical. These guards acted not as neutral enforcers of rules, but as ideological actors targeting women for expressing a view that conflicts with current orthodoxy.
