As a primary #school teacher with a background in working with #children who've suffered trauma, I am blown away by how accurately onjali rauf captures the impact of trauma in her #book, "The Star Outside my Window". Beautifully and sensitively written - an awesome class #read.

“We are women. We are locked in cells with males. Listen to our cry from behind these walls and help us!” Inspired by the pleas of female inmates in California, women around the state are placing hundreds of stickers to raise awareness of the upcoming rape trial of Tremaine

A rapist in a women’s prison. Raping women inmates. Does anyone at all care about female prisoners or is it somehow their own fault if they are raped? Or are they non-persons, irrelevant? “How many men are there in women’s prisons in California?” you ask. We don’t know. No one

Unbelievably misogynist headline in The Telegraph. It’s not revenge, it’s justice and none of those men were taking ‘orders’.

A history of femicide of elite female athletes in Kenya. • Agnes Tirop-stabbed/clobbered to death 2021 •Edna Muthoni-Throat slit by machete 2021 • Damaris Muthee Mutua- Strangled 2022 • Rebecca Cheptegei- Torched Sep 2024. All by their male partners. None have been jailed.

Here's a long read investigation feature on the murders of athletes Agnes Tirop and Damaris Mutua. Running champions killed at their prime. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Our sport has lost a talented athlete in the most tragic and unthinkable circumstances. Rebecca was an incredibly versatile runner who still had lots left to give on the roads, mountains and cross country trails. I have been in touch with our Council Members in Africa to see

Just heard & am just so deeply furious & sad. He wanted land. Wanted what SHE had a right to. When he couldn't get his way, he wanted her dead. Because Male Anger+Entitlement =Justified² Sound familiar? Should be. Because it's the same story. Everywhere. #RebeccaCheptegei

I’m looking forward to talking to Dr Karen Ingala Smith on Monday evening about her lifetime of Defending Women’s Spaces. Do join us! liberalvoiceforwomen.telltix.com/events/liberal…

In discovering she recognised one of the men who raped her as a neighbour she knew: “Gisèle was then reminded by the judge that in order to respect the presumption of innocence, it had been agreed in court not to use the word rape but “sex scene”” 🤬 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Recording the sex of a baby at birth is "intrinsically violent," according to a Cambridge University professor.

i/o That's just fundamentally untrue if you tell me that I'm a deer at birth I'm not going to morph into a deer That's crazy I don't even really know where to begin with that

I remember Yvette Cooper speaking alongside Alf Dubs, Diane Abbott & others at a rally calling for safe routes. Since then deaths in the Channel have increased & become normalised BBC News - Moral imperative to stop small boat gangs - Cooper bbc.com/news/articles/…

We all knew that criminalisation is ineffective, that safe routes are essential, that exclusionary policies are cruel, that war, poverty & climate crisis are growing global problems. The focus of this conference is heartbreaking Safe Passage 🧡 onjali rauf Alf Dubs Diane Abbott

Do you believe that male adults who call themselves women should be free to access and undress in female changing rooms where women and girls are undressing? Still?

BREAKING. Here we go again. Petrillo, the 51 year old father of two has just qualified for the semi finals in the WOMEN’s 200m. Another disabled woman has just lost out on the chance to advance.

The most moral army in the world? Israel has a right to defend itself? Only liars and fools are repeating these mantras now.
