Never too young to get into politics - welcome to my world, Rose Siobhán Cahill 🌹💪🏼

We are in shock and mourning. It is now confirmed that 29 of our colleagues in📍#Gaza have been killed since October 7. Half of these colleagues were @unrwa teachers. As an Agency, we are devastated. We are grieving with each other and with the families.

“What we don’t have at the moment, between Hamas and Netanyahu, is that either party is a partner for peace” Former cabinet minister, Sayeeda Warsi describes previous moments “that peace could have happened” #bbcqt bbc.in/3Sg1VlR

Deeply saddened at the failure of our leaders to support calls for a ceasefire amid Israel's indiscriminate bombardment of #Gaza, whose civilians are now fighting for their lives & cut off from the world due to lack of electricity, fuel & internet access. "History will judge us".

The images coming out of #Gaza right now show bloodied children screaming for their mothers; old women picking their way thro rubble and screaming. Screaming everywhere. Foreign journalists have not been allowed in #Gaza for last 22 days

UN General Assembly United Nations adopts Gaza resolution calling for immediate and sustained ‘humanitarian truce’ The #UK abstained 🤷🏽‍♀️😢 These morally indefensible positions we take even on a “humanitarian truce” shames us news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

I join those calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: killing civilians and bombing hospitals won’t lead to real peace, which is the only true guarantee of safety and security for all Israelis and all Palestinians. It will bring more war, more destruction, more fear to both, and beyond.

"Gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children".

Well done Jess Phillips for standing by your principles 👏🏼

Additionally, she addressed the emergence of online forms of violence against women and girls such as intimate image abuse that it is “ultimately a manifestation of societal gender inequality”. You can watch the full committee meeting via the link here: ow.ly/4Xpl50Q8ETk

Shameful.

Proud!! 👏🏼

FANTASTIC 👏👏👏

I am delighted to say that the Flexible Fund is now live, after campaigning for this important resource for survivors and their children. We know from the pilot that accessing these funds can enable survivors to take vital first steps towards a life free of abuse.

With thanks to Sir David Manning, Yuan Yang, Lord David Owen, @IWilkinson0, The Lord Leong CBE, Isabelle Younane, & Sir Ciarán Devane, we’re honoured to have you all on our advisory council & look forward to working with you to develop the NDP in the years ahead.

Appalled by this attack on democracy in my very own constituency of Hove and Portslade. Sending solidarity to Tanushkamarah and all independent candidates who are standing up for what they believe in today. May your voices be heard. #Gaza #GeneralElection2024

Following a week of attacks on Muslims and Black and minoritised people, we remain deeply concerned by the violence and its impact on survivors, as well as the specialist services that support Black and minoritised survivors. Read our latest statement: womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-iss…
