Lena must be removed, she is unsuitable to represent women as a board member. Any women that wish death or slur another women under these circumstances is unfit as a board member.

Disgraceful behaviour towards the very women they should be supporting.

Disgusting comments. As a rape survivor of an mtf this disturbs and upsets me

We're trying to end violence against women and girls. Do better.

Bullying maniacs like Leena van Deventer should be nowhere near any position of trust. Her comments are truly disgusting and befitting of an amoral foul mouthed hooligan.

I truly detest cancel culture but this woman is completely unfit to be a board member of a Woman’s organisation given her disgusting comments and incitement to violence against a rape victim. I cannot think of anything more antithetical to being a representative for championing women, other than her actually going over to Acton the violence herself. It is the most egregious act I’ve witnessed from such an organisation claiming to speak for women. She should be fired as she cannot represent women given her statements.

Disgusting and unforgivable. Sex based services are enshrined in law and needed more than ever.

Her comments about a rape survivor are appalling.

There should be zero tolerance for misogyny whether it comes from a male or a female.

What a disgrace. Shouldn't be allowed near traumatised, abused women.

Women abusing other women is shocking .. why would you do that, particularly to a vulnerable woman? Men do a thorough job .. they’re not the ones that need support in this instance.

Women's organisations need to show they have zero tolerance of this kind of vile misogyny

Verily, there seems no breed nastier than a transactivist. What a virtue-signalling piece of sh*t to wish such a horrible fate upon this poor woman who has already been through several layers of hell by the sounds, and who may have children for all she knows. Despite Leena being a void of empathy for a truly vulnerable woman, and the anger I feel towards her, I still would not wish her to be spat upon at every opportunity, nor wish her death. I just wish she'd shut her face and have a deep think about how she would feel if a public figure with followers and influence said that about her, about her someday daughter, a friend who has been raped and traumatised by male violence, and how on earth she still believes she deserves a job representing the views and interests of Victorian women. For shame.

Disgraceful from anyone, let alone someone in that position.

"Established in 1985, the Victorian Women’s Trust (VWT) is a proudly independent feminist organisation. We support women, girls and gender diverse people to thrive." Are you sure about that?
