She’s an unsung hero for sure

Just read a post where the Creche Bill is going from 48 to 56 per day in January for one child. Which wipes out any NICSS benefit. It's only going to work if the cap is removed - and £ for childcare is ringfenced. It's a serious and urgent situation.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.Almost 1 in 3 women globally have faced intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or both. Only 5% of GOV funds address it,& just 0.2% for prevention. Shocking stats-but we CAN work to change this-🔗inbio

Really disappointing that the DUP in Ards & North Down have prevented our Council joining the City of Sanctuary network. It won’t stop the hard work of community orgs, faith groups & volunteers helping to integrate newcomers to NI but it’s a missed opportunity to enhance our work

Remembering when Judith Butler pointed out, quite mildly as it turns out, that TERFs would not be part of the fight against fascism and all the transphobes got absolutely furious at the idea. Anyway, to change the subject entirely...

Today BPAS Marie Stopes International are happy to proceed an amendment which would make the work I do - supporting abortion clients - illegal - if I was in England. It would criminalise ANYONE who helps their friends access pills online. N1 is dangerous! Sorcha Eastwood MP Claire Hanna
