"Coronavirus and women in detention: A gender-specific approach missing" Women are 7% of incercerated persons, and men more vulnerable to Covid19 ... but of course early release policy should focus on women's needs

Gender specific approaches are only valid if they result in more aid to women. Unfortunately this is pretty standard across the globe.

Gender inequality officially only counts if females are negatively affected.

A lot of the countries mentioned in this article are the middle east and east Africa - women are second class citizens here so of course they'll be forgotten about more in prison.

These are the sort of countries where a woman would be stoned to death for adultery even if they were raped. A lot of the women in prison with children, are the result of rape so of course they'll be more prone to mental health issues. Plus not having access to sanitary products is a violation of human rights surely?

These Islamic countries have values that are beyond sexist, marrying girls off at the age of 11. Women who wear full head & body covering, this is something that started in the barbaric 9th century to protect them from getting rape if they needed to use the toilet at night, yet it's still in place. Women would even get arrested for holding hands or kissing a man in public. Everything I've said, feel free to google it.

I know a lot of men on this thread hate women so much that theyd probably prefer how women are in "their rightful place" in these backwards countries but I like to think and have spoken to a lot that just want equality for both men and women.

I love it how they support "gender-specific approaches," but also have an LBTQ section. I guess gender is not a social construct if women benefit from it.

If you read the article it doesn't say anything discriminating towards men. The article says that men are already being released and the factors are based on men allready.

Not everything is discrimination; this makes you just as bad as the rad-fems you dislike.
