Shukri Abdi

Hello and welcome back our Brackies! We've missed you. We're staying in ENGLAND this week while we take a breath, gather ourselves and reset the pod in these apocalyptic times.Kate is first up this week with the devastating murder of Naomi Hersi; a beloved trans woman whose death reignited outrage at problematic reporting of trans women in the media, especially trans women of colour.George then takes us through the recent incredibly upsetting death of twelve year old Shukri Abdi; the suspicious circumstances surrounding her final moments and the total lack of care and consideration shown to her family throughout.This week we begin including charities/funds connected to our cases that we will be donating to. The links are highlighted just below if you would like to and are in a position to donate too.Thank you Paturders!Mermaids: 'Supporting trans and gender-diverse children, young people and their families since 1995'. https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/about-us/Shukri Abdi family gofundme: https://uk.gofundme.com/f/shurki-abdis-familyJustice for Shukri Abdi petition: https://www.change.org/p/manchester-police-justice-for-shukri-abdi-9b426e0a-73d9-4c0b-a208-2f1f0b634d73?use_react=falseSomalia Refugee Crisis Explained: https://www.unrefugees.org/news/somalia-refugee-crisis-explained/Notes from this week's episode:Kates Shownotes:https://www.stonewall.org.uk/cy/node/65106https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/09/26/transgender-woman-naomi-hersi-death/https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/11/02/man-jailed-murder-trans-woman-naomi-hersi/https://www.amnesty.org.uk/blogs/lgbti-network/its-time-speak-trans-day-visibilityhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/transgender-murder-sex-drugs-jesse-mcdonald-naomi-hersi-heathrow-airport-a8603726.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46061200https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46488650https://www.attitude.co.uk/article/transgender-day-of-remembrance-honouring-naomi-hersi-and-trans-women-facing-oppression-and-violence/18416/http://www.lse.ac.uk/Events/2019/02/20190204t1000vATR/In-memory-of-Naomi-Hersi-The-impalpable-lives-and-history-of-queer-and-trans-and-intersex-people-of-colourhttps://beaveronline.co.uk/in-memory-of-naomi-hersi-exploring-the-exhibition/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Xy8Ivh2bc‘Murdered by’ Series 2 Episode 1 The Murder of Naomi Hersi Kates Hatspats:https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-mail-rail-london-englandhttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/highgate-cemeteryhttps://www.the2brewers.com/londonGeorgies Shownotes:https://gal-dem.com/the-death-of-shukri-abdi-she-was-failed-when-she-was-alive-and-shes-still-being-failed-now/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-48798206https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/justice-for-shukri-abdi-manchester-protest-black-lives-matter_uk_5ef74932c5b6acab284242fbhttps://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/girl-12-drowns-in-river-irwell-greater-manchester_uk_5d15c6fce4b082e553673793https://twitter.com/victorialive/status/1161568110064746502?lang=enhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Shukri_Abdihttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/10/shukri-abdi-burnham-calls-for-wider-investigation-over-drowning-of-12-year-old-refugeehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-53205689https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-51617852https://twitter.com/JohnBoyega/status/1269821325511659520https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/family-of-drowned-somali-refugee-shukri-abdi-accuse-police-of-racism_uk_5d53d9f7e4b05fa9df077be2https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2019-08-10/friends-and-family-of-shukri-abedi-say-they-do-not-believe-her-death-was-an-accident/https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/shukri-yayhe-abdi-refugee-drowned-a4467121.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/shukri-abdi-inquest-death-somalia-refugee-drowned-river-irwell-bury-a9358606.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/voices/shukri-abdi-death-bullying-racism-black-lives-matter-a9587961.htmlhttps://www.runnymedetrust.org/uploads/publications/pdfs/Runnymede%20Secondary%20Schools%20report%20FINAL.pdfhttps://www.bustle.com/news/keeping-shukri-abdis-death-in-the-headlines-is-a-vital-step-towards-justice-22978260https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/10/shukri-abdi-burnham-calls-for-wider-investigation-over-drowning-of-12-year-old-refugeehttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/feb/26/other-child-laughed-as-shukri-abdi-drowned-in-river-inquest-toldhttps://gal-dem.com/we-must-be-careful-not-to-spread-misinformation-around-the-death-of-shukri-abdi/https://www.voice-online.co.uk/opinion/2020/06/15/shukri-abdis-death-is-proof-that-racism-still-prevails-in-schools/Georgies Hatspats:https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/22-beeshttps://www.atlasobscura.com/places/alan-turing-memorialThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3655128/advertisement
