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.

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.

Taken over and destroyed by men The Women’s Equality Party has died. Or has it? 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.

One of the panels, titled “Academic Freedom: (Still) Under Threat?” questioned authoritarianism within universities, particularly when it came to the repression of free speech.
Georgia Meloni has done more for women than the woke mob who loathe her

Oct 17, 2024 | telegraph.co.uk | Raquel Rosario Sánchez

Credit: CHRISTOPHER NEUNDORF Is there a more controversial politician in the world stage than Giorgia Meloni? Not a week goes by in which the eccentric Italian Prime Minister is not showered with adoration and condemnation, sometimes in equal measures. This week, The Telegraph reported an Albanian restaurant dedicated to Meloni which features seventy portraits of the politician. “Trattoria Meloni,” a seafood restaurant, shows paintings of Meloni in an array of moods ranging from bewilderment,...
