There is *no alternative* to abolition. None. People given power over captives in a dungeon will brutally abuse that power 100% of time time, forever.

"Tacoma Police Department repeatedly failed to respond to reports of sexual abuse and assault experienced by people held at the Northwest Detention Center, according to a new report by the University of Washington Center for Human Rights.

Across the 157 reports of assault, sex crimes or rape at the facility between 2015 and 2025 reviewed by researchers, nearly 90% involved a detained person as a victim. Among those cases, Tacoma police directly contacted detainees who were victims only 36% of the time.

Reports of violent attacks, sexual assaults and beatings by facility guards have long been disregarded by Tacoma police, said Rufina Reyes, executive director of La Resistencia, a local immigrant rights group that advocates for the closure of the detention center and the end of deportations."

"Like many women in Israel, I have also experienced a rude feminist awakening during this war. I’ve lost Palestinian comrades who did not like my condemnation of Hamas’ violence against Israeli women on October 7, and I’ve lost Jewish friends who regarded women in Gaza as legitimate targets.

"After some painful reflection, I’ve come to learn the strength and courage we women must cultivate to unequivocally denounce any violence against a woman’s body as abhorrent, whether" the aggressor is Palestinian or Israelian.

The unspoken trauma of sexual crimes against Ukrainian men by the Russian army.

Sexual violence is being used by the Russians as a form of torture in nearly all detention centres, both in Russia and in occupied areas.

Over 68% of the victims are male, according to the United Nations. However, the voices of survivors are so rare that this phenomenon remains largely invisible.

A man has confessed to fifteen rapes after drugging his victims. The 34-year-old suspect is a landscaper by profession and has no criminal record. According to the prosecutor in Montpellier, he "admitted to filming the events and acting under the influence of cocaine." In January, two women filed a complaint at a police station in Southern France, claiming they had been raped at home by their landscaper.

"The Trump regime is now stuffed with alleged rapists and sexual abusers. Besides Trump himself, there is his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and Hhealth and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr; Trump’s first pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, was accused in a House ethics report of 'regularly' paying for sex, including with minors."

"Our freak of the week is incel-fluffing testosterone-poisoned Andrew Tate. Andrew is our freak of the week because thanks apparently to the Trump administration, yesterday at dawn, a private jet whisked him out of Romania where he was facing rape and human trafficking charges and into our own beautiful state of Florida."

Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali note the timing of the Trump administration's drop of the Epstein files and suggest that the timing is not accidental: it was arranged to distract from Trump's freeing of sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his choice to fly Tate to the US.

"Trump has based his anti-immigration stance on the falsehood that immigrants are rapists and sexual predators. The right-wing media and Trump's supporters have fallen for that narrative completely. DOJ and ICE have commenced summary deportations of immigrants accused of crimes—without regard to their guilt or innocence."

"Andrew Tate’s return is a huge win For the internet’s most influential misogynists. The Trump administration reportedly pressed Romania to free Tate — signaling that the sexual abuse of women won’t just be brushed under the rug, but rewarded."

The director of the institution, Pierre Silviet-Carricart, has been charged of the case of sexual assault. François Bayrou asked the investigating judge for a meeting at his place. The discussion was around the risks for the Bayrous' son, then a student at the boarding school. François Bayrou's wife attended the director's funeral in 2000.

At Parliament, on 11th February 2025, François Bayrou was representing the government for the weekly question-and-answer session. When asked about #Bétharram, he stated before the National Assembly that he had "never been informed of any violence, and even less of sexual violence".

François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."
