I’ll be joining Alison Jenner 🔶🇪🇺🇬🇧🦖 of Liberal Voice for Women next Monday evening. We’ll be talking about Defending Women’s Spaces, men’s violence against women, women’s rights - and more!
"We should not underestimate the social revolution required. Violence against women is the sharpest end of a patriarchal system: like Cheptegei, 60% of women killed by men were killed by a current or former partner." Morning Star morningstaronline.co.uk/article/rebecc…
Our petition to the Scottish Parliament’s Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee, on accurately recording the sex of those accused or charged with rape, is covered in today's The Herald. heraldscotland.com/news/24568745.…
Will Labour intervene in the For Women Scotland action at the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of the sex in the Equality Act? The final stage in a battle with the SNP started years ago, and will apply across the whole UK. Please support it crowdjustice.com/case/uksc-defi…
“This normalisation of an inherently abusive practice would devastate societal views of women and further erode their rights at a time when violence against women is already endemic.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/suppor… 👏 NHSHelenOConnor & Luba Fein #TUC2024
