‘Wij eisen de nacht op’ is terug. Niet omdat we dat graag willen, maar omdat het nodig is. Vorig jaar vertienvoudigde mede door deze campagne de berichtgeving over vrouwveiligheid. Nu zakt die weer in. De berichtgeving, niet de cijfers. Tijd om onze veiligheid weer op te eisen!

On May 8, we started a crowdfunding campaign to develop an app to live caption people with speech impairment to improve their quality of life and participation in society. Since then we have received many supportive msgs from potential users, their family&friends, clinicians, speech therapists.

Elk incident met een moslim wordt direct opgeblazen als maatgevend voor 'de' moslim. Maar als een dronken Nederlandse jongere een dodelijke ravage aanricht, roept niemand dat 'de Nederlander' een probleem heeft. Meten met twee maten is een nationale sport geworden. #worldpride #amsterdam
