Again, when we say #StigmaKills this is exactly what we mean.

Imagine trying to convince someone you deserve justice after being assaulted by someone who thinks you can't consent and that you're "public property"

Decriminalization is removing criminal penalties from adult sex work so that workers have more - not fewer - tools to identify violent people before they become victims.

Those are not protections for violent men.

They are protections against violent men.

#D17
Screenshot, text reads December 17 began in 2003 in response to the sentencing of murderer Gary Ridgeway, who was convicted of 49 separate murders, although ultimately, he is thought to have taken over 90 lives. When asked about his very specific targeting, he admitted “I picked prostitutes as victims because they were easy to pick up without being noticed. I knew they would not be reported missing right away and might never be reported missing. I picked prostitutes because I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught."

Mooi programma, toffe organisaties en urgentie in Nederland om meer solidariteit te tonen met sekswerkers aangezien er continu aan hun rechten wordt getornd.

#StigmaKills: „Wir nehmen doch keinen Junkie mit“, sagen die Sanitäter*innen, als sie auf einen Hilferuf hin in der Wohnung von Bernhard* (Namen geändert) ankommen. 2 Tage später hat sich sein Zustand extrem verschlechtert, in der Nacht stirbt er.
Auch an Bernhard* erinnern wir an diesem 21. Juli.
„Wir nehmen doch keinen Junkie mit“
Gleich zweimal wird ein Mann, der nach einer Drogeninjektion medizinische Hilfe sucht, abgewiesen – und stirbt deshalb vermutlich infolge einer unbehandelten Sepsis.

I judge people heavily in respect to how they speak about people that are struggling with homelessness and addiction.

It’s Human Trafficking prevention month, it’s the new year where millions of people continue to be abused and exploited by people they trust and predators.

As part of the Growing Edge training we share the #StigmaKills video. The group in Romania 🇷🇴 shared the powerful impact this had on them and we discussed how this is linked to shame, blame, trauma and addiction.

There was a massive thank you to @nhsapa.bsky.social

Our perceptions, words and actions create stigma. Stigma creates walls, loneliness and poor health, & ultimately stigma kills.

The language we use, assumptions we make, and our attitudes towards people experiencing addiction all affect whether someone feels safe enough to seek help.

This festive season, choose compassion and understanding over judgement and shame.

During the festive period, messages of togetherness are everywhere. But for people experiencing addiction, stigma can make this time feel even more isolating.

Treating addiction as a moral failing stops people seeking support.

Someone in your life has likely used ketamine. It doesn’t make people behave badly. Someone in your life might be alive thanks to ketamine.

Ketamine is an invaluable drug and doesn’t make people racist or fascist. Stigmatize bad people instead of giving them an excuse by stigmatizing drugs they use

I wrote a more personal Substack post today. But as I've seen people wrongly attribute the myriad problems with Musk to ketamine use, I wanted to add my voice to the conversation, as someone who is able to teach health policy thanks to ketamine's benefits. open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

@joiamukherjee.bsky.social asked John about the double stigma—TB and poverty—and how shame drives people underground.

His answer is haunting: a woman who wished for lung cancer over TB, because cancer carries less shame. That’s how deep the stigma goes.
