If you know history and the current patterns of slavery
@TraceySpicer it's difficult to see why you'd make this statement in good conscience -
Making the point that, in many countries, women and girls are treated as slaves in their homes. Have done docos on this. Apologies.
-
"Women & girls treated as slaves" Indigenous, migrant & refugee women who had/have no freedom, denied wages, sold as property? Not the same
-
Of course it's not the same. That's why I used the word akin. Admire what you're doing. Life-saving work. We can't forget history.

1/2 When men make sexist statements, as feminists we speak out,
@TraceySpicer. Damage requires reflection & apology, not doubling down. -
2/2 Same goes staments that repeat damage of racism. Good time to consider why it's inappropriate to use slavery outside its proper context.
