Garrick Club open your doors to equality. Judges of quality support equality.
No more boys’ club in Justice — we demand you let women in.

📢 #JoCoxCommission successes so far...
In January we launched 28 recommendations to tackle abuse and intimidation towards elected representatives. Two of those have now been adopted, and others are already in progress.

We're appalled at the violent, misogynistic & racist comments made by Frank Hester.
Black women in politics receive abuse online - both racist & misogynistic. Misogynoir is sadly rife for Black women in public life.
We stand in full solidarity with Diane Abbott MP.
