Activism in the workplace is becoming a reality on which staff and management increasingly need advice. This interesting article by Haroon Siddique exposes how it may be used by both sides as a weapon to discredit the other.

A little patch of heaven Shaista Aziz 💙 ! Enjoy your allotment harvest!

The law banning intimate image abuse has not improved since my client Chrissy Chambers ✨🏳️‍🌈 successfully settled her landmark claim. The crime should not require an intention to cause distress. The victim is hurt regardless of the perp’s intention. #IntimateImageAbuse #NotYourPorn

The UK government is at the Supreme Court today trying to overturn this ruling relating to Abu Zubaydah who was tortured at CIA ‘black sites’ in six different countries and remains imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay without charge theguardian.com/law/2022/mar/1…

We all get a terrifying "that could have been me" realisation at some point in our lives, when something tragic and senseless happens close to us. My heart breaks that this moment will have been yesterday for so many of our students in #Nottingham. Don't wait to ask for support:

Delighted to join my esteemed friends and professional colleagues Dr Anna Bull she/her Deeba Syed and important representatives from the OIA and ACAS to discuss this latest report into GBH in UK universities. Pls join free online this Friday 1-2.30pm.

Please spread the work about this very exciting study on sexual and gender based violence in Universities. This call is for survivors, academics, activists, and policymakers in South Africa.

In case you missed the launch of Dr Anna Bull she/her and @Erin_R_Shannon’s report on Higher Ed after #MeToo, you can catch up on YouTube. Great to be part of a vibrant discussion with Deeba Syed (Rights of Women) OIA and Acas with astute questions from attendees. ProtectED

Aren’t victims of modern slavery often victims of human trafficking too, which also often uses illegal means of bringing them to the UK. If so, it seems ridiculous to exclude these victims from support. Thanks for flagging this Shaista Aziz 💙 #illegalmigrationbill. Centre for Women's Justice

This is a really fantastic summary of the good changes being made in the #onlineharmsbill to protect victims of intimate image abuse. Thank you Prof Clare McGlynn KC (Hon) and @erikarackley for all your hard work and research. It is paying off!

Very important ruling. The impact & consequence of mental health injury can far outstrip physical injury, and so should be accorded more prominence and recognition in all types of cases. The damages you can win for lifelong psychiatric harm is quite derisory at present. EVAW Coalition

Hugely important and brave women speaking out after being gagged with NDAs. You can support by signing the petition.

Interesting cross-party ministerial discussion on the barriers to equal treatment at work facing women: women are not a minority yet they still have to shoehorn themselves into a work world made for and by men. Rights of Women #womeninwork2023

If the UK were to eradicate the gender pay gap, the UK’s economy would grow by £6 trillion per Ian Elliot of PWC. Equality benefits all stakeholders, and helps achieve and grow the bottom line. #womeninworksummit2023

Fantastic session with Dame Sharon White, discussing the role of mentors in achieving your best at work, and the need for flexibility at work and shared domestic burdens. Last point: choose your partner well! #womeninworksummit2023

As many of you know, somewhere along this crazy journey, we’ve started a nonprofit called Change Campus Culture 💙 Under this nonprofit, we’re working on a docu-series called Unsafe Spaces which aims to shed light on the endemic of sexual violence at UK universities 🎬

Lengthening the time for bringing an employment claim would be an important reform that lawyers have been calling for for years too. Suzanne McKie QC Rights of Women There is no reason why a victim of a pub brawl should have 3 years and a victim of discrimination only 3 months!

Looking forward to this docu series, throwing fresh light on campus culture. Glad to have been interviewed for it too, to share insights gained over years at the coal face of representing students whose sexual misconduct claims have been mishandled. The 1752 Group Culture Shift

Pleased to have been quoted in this excellent article by Katie Tarrant⁦. This case is v important for clearing up confusion over whether a Uni owes students a duty of care, and underlining the importance of a fair investigation. ⁦ProtectED⁩ thetimes.co.uk/article/drama-…

nature Sarah Wild If an employer asked for a reference, for example, a former institution could state that the person had been dismissed for misconduct. As things stand, neither party is required to request or provide such information and the new institution might not know to ask Georgina Calvert-Lee
