  • Assisted dying: the price is far too high

    1 week ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Sonia Sodha

    Sometimes you’re reminded that years don’t always equal wisdom, and age isn’t always a proxy for knowledge. That’s how I felt this week on reading a new report from the Children’s Commissioner on young people’s views on assisted dying.

  • The murder of Virginia Giuffre

    2 weeks ago | theneweuropean.co.uk | Sonia Sodha

    Virginia Giuffre’s death serves as a terrible reminder of the double suffering endured by women who have been sexually trafficked. First, there is the horrific experience of the sexual abuse itself. Layered on top of that is the trauma of speaking out about what has happened and of trying to get justice despite all the mud that the powerful men who are accused fling at survivors to try and discredit them to make the allegations go away.

  • In the rush towards a law on assisted dying, the vulnerable have become expendable | Sonia Sodha

    1 month ago | theguardian.com | Sonia Sodha

    Last month, ITV News reported on the case of 51-year-old Anne, who travelled to a Swiss assisted suicide clinic to end her own life after her only son died. The first her family knew of it was when they received the goodbye letters Anne had posted them from Switzerland. It follows another case from 2023, when 47-year-old Alastair Hamilton went to the same Swiss clinic after telling his mother he was going on holiday. He had been suffering from stomach problems but had no diagnosed illness.
