Weā€™ve become so comfortable with hearing about femicide that the media uses the term ā€œpureedā€ to describe a woman being murdered without even flinching.

Iā€™m glad to hear that Mridul Wadwa is no longer the CEO of Rape Crisis Edinburgh but the appalling culture over which this man who identifies as a woman presided goes much deeper. This should not be an end of the matter Others need to consider their position

The people who put a man in charge of a womenā€™s rape crisis centre then fought to keep him there must also GO. They saw what he was saying & doing & still they fought, over rape victims rights & well being. People who do this in ALL fields need to be weeded out & sense return.

Rape cases heard by judge are likely to result in fairer justice for victims because jury members often hold misconceptions, says Scotlandā€™s leading judge. Lady Dorrian is right to be concerned. Shame on lawyers for threatening to boycott a pilot for judge-only rape trials.

So much going on I can barely tell the days apart. But just want to say THANK YOU Laila Mickelwait, Lord Bethell & Women's Policy Centre for yesterday's crucial talks on the role the #porn industry has in making #ViolenceAgainstWomen & girls a norm. The fight to #EndOnlineVAWG begins.
