Domestic abuse can drive people to the deepest depths of despair Last week, the conclusions of the inquest into the death of Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck were released to the public. The inquest found that the 19-year-old “died by suicide” after she was found in her room on December 2021. However, her death did not occur in a vacuum.

Feb 5, 2025 | thecritic.co.uk | Raquel Rosario Sánchez

Opinions on Israel and Palestine should be debated, not shut out In 1982, Australian theorist Dale Spender published her seminal work Women of Ideas and What Men Have Done to Them, which used prominent feminists from the Global North as case studies to chart hundreds of years of the policing of women’s speech.

On 17 November, 78 per cent of the membership of the party voted on a motion to dissolve the organisation, citing financial difficulties and a changed political landscape than the one they entered almost ten years ago. Mandu Read, the current and final leader, said that donations to the party dropped after COVID-19, which made the party’s future unsustainable.
War crimes and Western double standards

Nov 29, 2024 | thecritic.co.uk | Raquel Rosario Sánchez

How Trump won over Latino voters

Nov 11, 2024 | spectator.co.uk | Raquel Rosario Sánchez

But my aunt in New York, who became a citizen many years ago did just that: last week she cast a ballot for the Republican candidate. So why did she, and so many other Latinos, turn to Trump? There has been an outpouring of racism and xenophobia from liberal circles aimed at the Latino community for choosing to back Trump.
