Police leaders and the govt are trying to fix institutional misogyny and racism by tinkering with the the misconduct process, all the while they're still refusing to even acknowledge structural discrimination in policing. This is doomed to fail.

🩸 #MenstrualHygieneDay is a reminder of the importance of breaking stigma and ensuring access to menstrual products for all.

In Scotland, we're proud of the legislation that makes period products more accessible but we need to continue to fight to end #PeriodPoverty .

WEP Scotland acknowledges the statement by #SirIainLivingstone stating “Police Scotland is institutionally racist and discriminatory.”

WE demand clear and robust measures for reform, including policy change and training. What’s the plan Police Scotland?

Brace yourselves! WE're here to shake things up and ignite the spark for change🔥

Get ready for a revolution that's unapologetically feminist💪✨

See Mark Rowley (Chief of the Metropolitan Police)... it's not that hard:

'It is right for me, as Chief Constable, to clearly state that institutional racism, misogyny and discrimination exist. Police Scotland is institutionally racist and discriminatory.'

Hi Rishi Sunak,

I thought today would be a good day to remind you of the pledge you made to the nation that your Government would have “integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level”

(your exact words)

It’s astounding that it’s taken until now for this to be introduced. As equal healthcare is one of our core policies with a focus on improved research & treatment, WE welcome this long-awaited step in the right direction to close the gender health gap.

To those who say it would never happen here…

Government quietly removes commitments to women's reproductive rights after summit on freedom of beliefs inews.co.uk/news/governmen…

Here is part of my interview on BBC Politics yesterday. The rest can be found here: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… from 12 min in.

NWC is supporting the protests on Sunday against the rollback of women’s reproductive rights in the US after #SCOTUS decision on #RoevsWade . We are standing in solidarity with all women and people who will be denied essential healthcare.

In the face of this dark post-Roe reality, I have three words: Hold onto hope. Do not give into despair. Here’s how I’m staying in the fight:

For those who keep telling us women's rights are not under threat, are not cycling backwards at an alarming rate, this has just happened.

We cannot afford to be complacent when our right to our own bodies is so continually stripped from us.

THREAD: Dominic Raab used today’s #PMQs to attack the Human Rights Act. The govt’s proposal is a shameless power grab that will erode accountability - including for ending violence against women and girls, undermine migrant rights and ensure the government is untouchable. 1/9
