Ann was raped in a domestic violence refuge. She had escaped her violent boyfriend aged just 21 and with two young children. Why was a man ever employed to work in close proximity to vulnerable women and their children?
Slightly misquoting Gore Vidal, but any man who wants to work in a women's refuge should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
We need more female carpenters, plumbers, gasfitters and electricians to do the "men's work" in female-only spaces. But such women first have to survive the ordeal of training with men who will do their worst (belittling, undermining, disparaging) to drive women out.
EURGH. Why are women, and women working in the 'ending male violence against women and girls', so continually duped by men? Stonewater Housing which is buying up specialist refuges and turning them into mixed-sex housing have taken over the women's refuge in Brighton. This will be a magnet for abusers.
Appalling.
