Our reviews often pick up victim blaming which is why we welcome the new #IOPC guidance. Our independent audit will help you understand how to implement these principles and create a positive culture across the force. And, for #IWD2024 we're offering a pilot rate #InvestInWomen

Our #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen #DYK series: 4) For women to truly be equal, safety must be a first principle. Yet, far too many women still don't feel safe in public or private spaces. It's time to invest in prioritising #safety for all #women, everywhere. #SafetyFirst

Surviving Economic Abuse (@searesource) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Perpetrators use economic abuse to make victims think the abuse is inescapable. Many end up trapped with the abuser or left with no money or home if they flee. It is devastating that so many domestic abuse victims end up taking their own lives (1/2) theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

I welcome today's report by Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales recognising how crucial advocates are in keeping victims engaged in the complex justice process. These findings further strengthen my calls for a Victim Care Hub, navigating victims through justice and ensuring their rights are delivered.

Today we’re at the first ever global summit on #deepfakes hosted by #MyImageMyChoice. First up Sophia Bush discussing how women’s bodies are weaponised to push them out of power with Noelle Martin. Meaningful, collective action is urgently needed.

It was great to be at the first global summit on #deepfakes. A key takeaway has been the language itself and moving away from conceptualising this as non-consensual ‘pornography’ and calling it what it is; abuse. #myimagemychoice

Davis and Associates (@davisassociate_) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A takeaway from the #deepfake global summit was recognition of the impact of image based abuse on victim/survivors. In a context in which #VAWG is already minimised in society, recognition of the impact is vital so this is seen & responded to as a form of #VAWG

Two thirds of councils warn communities will see cuts to neighbourhood services as they struggle to plug funding gaps. We're urging the Govt to provide further funding to address the growing financial crisis facing councils and local services. 👉local.gov.uk/about/news/cou…

Exciting morning facilitating a national sounding group with senior leaders across councils as we develop the #LGA toolkit to support Ending Abuse in Public Life. The toolkit will support councils to self assess their arrangements #DebateNotHate

I’ve fixed it. This is what we actually want. An ambition for us to feel safe whilst we’re actually the opposite is playing in to the ‘overly emotional women’ narrative/borderline gaslighting. To make us actually safe, your focus needs to stretch beyond CCTV/more police.

We need to name abuse to ensure those perpetrating it are visible and held accountable: ❌ No such thing as a #toxicrelationship ❌ No such thing as a #toxicenvironment or #toxicatmosphere ❌ No such thing as a #toxicdynamic ❌ No such thing as a #toxictrio ✔️ This is abuse.

There is no such thing as a #toxicrelationship. Labelling relationships as 'toxic' shifts blame away from abusers and undermines survivors' experiences. Relationships are shaped by behaviours. Let's address those behaviours and hold abusers accountable. #domesticabuse

Changemakers Assemble (@uniting2endharm) 's Twitter Profile Photo

⚠️ Calling relationships #toxic undermines the severity of #domesticabuse. From coercive and controlling behaviour to physical violence, abuse is never acceptable. Let's use language that reflects the gravity & severity of the issue.

Launched today - Pleased to have supported the Local Government Association (LGA) to develop this really important toolkit for councils to self-assess their approach to supporting councillors with abuse and intimidation. Given the upcoming election, all councils should be thinking about this.

We're proud of the toolkit we developed with the Local Government Association (LGA) was launched today. This comprehensive resource is designed to help councils tackle abuse and intimidation, ensuring a safer environment for our councillors. #LocalGov #DebateNotHate #GeneralElection2024 #safety
