We have allowed the demonisation and dehumanisation of male refugees. They are victims too | Zoe Williams | The Guardian

A piece in the Guardian on how “The category of ‘civilian’, which is supposed to be gender neutral, has really been stripped down to women and girls.” “If you’re a boy child or a man from a certain geography, ‘civilian’ is no longer available to you. We’ve gendered it so deeply that men of certain skin colours, certain geographies, are presumptively terrorists, or presumptively criminal.”
