Could not be more proud of the team who have literally worked all hours of the day to get to this point. Still a long way to go, but what a huge step forward for girls across the U.K.

Great to see cost of childcare taking one of the top spots on BBC Politics Live this afternoon - this should definitely be one of the biggest issues of the next election!

Solidarity to all the mums who gave birth in the pandemic with no support and now will miss out on free childcare hours because their child will already be three/four by the time it’s implemented #Budget2023 #childcare #workingmums

Amazing work from the Crime Not Compliment team at Plan International UK who just refuse to give up no matter how many setbacks and delays we get! Fingers crossed for a bill against public sexual harassment that really works for women and girls #equality #harassment

Great campaign from Metro - no baby should go hungry in a cost of living crisis. Allow UK families to buy infant formula using store points, grocery vouchers & gift cards #FormulaForChange - Sign the Petition chng.it/YvcfQJm6

Assessments continue to show that women and girls are without doubt disproportionately affected by gvt cuts to the aid budget. Great to see Plan International UK in this article highlighting the human impact of sustained cuts.

Young people are turning to AI chatbots for advice about sexual health and periods. Why? Because they're not getting what they need from sex education.

An incredible moment at such a significant time - public sexual harassment WILL be made illegal in the U.K. Congrats to everyone who worked so hard on this landmark legislation - what a signal that the predators won’t win #harassment #misogyny #girlsrights #crimenotcompliment

#DayOfTheGirl matters. And it's great to see leaders like Keir Starmer, leader of The Labour Party, agree. Together we can make this a moment to power change and break down the barriers that girls face. Creating a world where every girl can reach her potential. #TogetherWithGirls

Clara and Nova spoke to Connie Dimsdale about their experiences of relationships, sex and health education at school, following the news that the Government is banning schools in England from teaching sex education to children under nine. bit.ly/3UHzw80
