Let’s go back to the horror stats of the report.
0.1% have studied a book by a woman of colour.
They walk into my class and they have been taught to imagine unicorns better/faster than a woman of colour who is a novelist!!!!

No further discussion.

Really excited to be running this interactive session on the asylum process, structural racism and colonialism tonight. Given the proposed change to the migration system these discussions are more important than ever.
TODAY @ 6:30–8:00 PM
The FIRST in our new series and we'll be going over how Asylum policy in Western countries is rooted in racist colonial policies and practice.
