Feeling terribly sad about Caroline Flack right now. If you are struggling, don’t suffer in silence - call Samaritans for help on 116 123

Overcome with emotion at this, and so happy. Although far from a perfect result, taking nearly 90 accusations to secure 2 guilty verdicts, this is a positive step nonetheless. Unending admiration to the incredibly brave women who stood against him 🔥👏 bit.ly/37YalTW

In 1977, 60 women marched in Leeds in response to being told to ‘stay out of public places after dark’ because of the attacks made by the Yorkshire Ripper. It’s almost 50 years later! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #ReclaimTheNight #LeedsOtherPaper Nov 1977.

Good morning! Here is a helpful graphic which demonstrates how people contribute to the culture which perpetuates violence and sexual violence.

A real delight to run these sessions for schools in Westminster. #WEW2021

Sexual harassment and abuse of power is unacceptable. Full stop. No excuses. It’s currently #16Days of action to end violence against women and girls - believe victims and centre them in the narrative. Stop. Platforming. Abusers.
