2000 women killed by men since 2009 in UK- 61% women killed by a current or former partner, 9% women killed by their sons, 6% by other family, 15% by other men they knew and 10% by men they didn’t know. When will men’s fatal violence against women end. #femicide www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Love this photography exhibition from Rainbow Sisters... and love all that @4refugeewomen.bsky.social do!

Reading NAO report & brilliant @lexytopping.bsky.social Discovered that "the Home Office underspent on its own VAWG budget by an average of 15% between 2021-22 and 2023-24". Utterly bewildering and rage-making when the whole VAWG sector is on its knees. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

So delighted to see former @respectuk.bsky.social Research Manager @thangamdebbonaire.bsky.social is on her way to the House of Lords. Great to have an expert in working with perpetrators of domestic abuse (among so many other things) on the red benches 😊

As I discussed on Five Live this week- we are failing rape victims at every turn. 5 years of not being able to move on, not get privileged counselling. Not heal. It’s torturing victims www.theguardian.com/law/2024/dec...

A few reflections on the PM's speech today. As always, it's deeds not words we really want!

It's 25 November - UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - if you want to understand the history I really recommend #JuliaAlvarez 's fictionalised version of the story of the ##Mirabal sisters 🙏🏾 #IDEVAW #16DaysOfActivism
