It's become shockingly normalised to hear extreme violence directed towards women in politics shrugged off, Black women disproportionately so. This misogynoir must be called out. These casually delivered threats have one purpose - to silence women. That will never happen.

Campaigners warn that without sex and relationship education lessons, children can pick up very damaging habits

📣 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - the start of #16Days OfActivism !

This #16Days we'll look at why prevention is SO important - from education to public campaigns and work with the media, we can create a different world #IDEVAW #NoExcuse

📣 We know that a different world is possible, but to get there we need an approach that prioritises and invests in preventing this violence!

Absolutely devastating. A 15 year old girl has been killed on her way to school. A boy known to her has been arrested.

How many more of us must be killed or harmed before we as a society take this seriously and work to prevent it?!

Love and solidarity to her family and friends

Well done Farah Nazeer & the fab Women's Aid team for an inspiring conference! Great to be with you on day 2 to lead a breakout on #OnlineSafetyBill for your members, pic here of feedback on online abuse they are seeing from survivors from the session #EndAbuseTogether #WaConf23

While we cautiously welcome this as a positive step for survivors who choose to seek justice through the criminal justice system, new criminal offences alone won’t go anywhere near far enough to tackle violence against women and girls online 🧵

Great to see Roshni Birmingham, Andrea Simon and many more today in Birmingham - incredibly moving contributions from survivors & families who’ve experienced forced marriage and so called honour based abuse

Honoured to have attended Mina Smallman's beautiful service at St Paul's Cathedral today in remembrance of the women and girls who have been killed. 'It's Time' - this is not inevitable, we must aim for no more women's lives taken by male violence

Our thoughts and solidarity are with the family and friends of Johanita Dogbey, a young Black woman murdered nearby to us on Monday. We are devastated by news of yet another life so tragically taken. We yearn for a world without violence against women and girls.

It's the end of the #PowerUpNepal23 conference, Comic Relief grantees from around the world came together in Kathmandu to share lessons on feminist power, partnerships and movement building. I've learned so much and been totally inspired ✊🏾

Signed up to support Level Up #NoMoreLyes campaign 🙌🏽 calling for more research about the long-term impact on Black women of ingredients in hair products - make sure they are safe to use or take them off the shelves!

Today, the serious violence reduction orders (SVROs) pilot launches in four areas. Along with Liberty, Criminal Justice Alliance, Runnymede Trust, UNJUST-UK, Fair Trials, and JENGbA, we are calling for the pilot to be scrapped - read our joint statement here: libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/human-ri…

ICYMI, in the latest episode of #NowandMen we speak to Andrea Simon, Director of the brilliant EVAW Coalition, about why we need more focus on preventing violence against women, in settings from education to policing, and the role of men & boys in speaking out: now-and-men.captivate.fm/episode/evaw

The government's #RefugeeBanBill will allow them to detain pregnant women indefinitely, undoing the 72 hour time limit. This causes massive harm to women and their unborn babies

We stand with Women for Refugee Women 🧡 and urge the government to scrap this harmful plan #CompassionNotCruelty

Happy International Women's Day! We kickstarted our celebration yesterday by commemorating all the inspiring nominees and winners of the True Honour Awards 2023. Here are some of our highlights

Chaired a great panel discussion on #onlineVAWG today at the Women's Aid conference. Much support for a VAWG code of practice for tech platforms to be introduced in the #OnlineSafetyBill w/out it there are huge gaps in how VAWG will be addressed by the Bill #EndAbuseTogether

How is it still acceptable to report male violence this way?

📣 It's #AboutTime things changed.

We call time on sexual harassment and abuse at school.

Girls deserve better.
