Disgusting behaviour from an official.

Disgraceful. No woman should have to suffer just to coddle a man's feelings, no matter that he calls himself.

Her lack of compassion shows she’s not fit for this role.

Utter disgrace and a barrier to the women you serve by her presence

Shocking, this person has no compassion or empathy. Obviously not a believer in woman's rights. Needs to go.

Disgraceful comments and not morally qualified for job.

These kind of reactionary and misogynistic comments are unacceptable from a person in a position of trust and authority in an organisation that promotes the interests of women.

This person should not hold this position if they agree on spitting in women that don’t agree with them. Vile.

Her comments are beyond reprehensible... they are misogynistic and vile and have no place in society.

This person failed to stand up for women's rights, indeed she tried to get people to threaten and intimidate a victim.

Absolutely disgraceful that a someone that spouts this kind of abuse should sit on your board

How can someone so lacking in empathy, good judgement and common sense remain in this position?

Trauma responses do not adhere to gender identity politics. Women who are sexually assaulted by men need compassion and privacy, not social media declarations endorsing further abuse. Remove Ms. van Deventer from her position now!

This person has no moral right to be in a leading position in an organization focused on women. She can put vulnerable women at risk.

Shocking comment to make. She should be nowhere near victims of such violence.

Anyone who believes that a rape victim should be thrown Dow a well and spat at is not a fit person to be on any board, let alone a women’s trust board.

It's a shame that we even need to tell you that this is unacceptable. How far we have fallen.
