Change society not the bodies of children. It's really that simple.

Rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation & coercion is NOT a bad day at the office. It stays with the victim for a lifetime & its harms manifest in ways that no health & safety can protect from. We can only protect women & girls with change culture & ending demand.

I went to a really interesting @brighthink.bsky.social discussion last night with the author of CTRL ALT DELETE @cecilesimmons.bsky.social But I did have to ask a question: At what point do we stop externalising the choices men make and hold them accountable for their choices and actions?

Is beach sexual harassment a crime? YES! The Protection From Sex-Based Harassment in Public Act 2023 has recently been given Royal Assent, so police forces should be putting this in to operation. Join us THIS SATURDAY 2PM CENTRAL BRIGHTON www.tickettailor.com/events/siste...

A brilliant piece on Sky News today by the indomitable Sharon Holland, who's daughter Chloe died by suicide after being subjected to prolific coercive and controlling behaviour by her ex-partner. Our solidarity and love with Sharon. #Hernamewaschloe news.sky.com/.../growing-....

Fantastic news! #WTUC has defeated Motions 8 and 9, which called for full decriminalisation of prostitution, and which would have fully legalised the sex trade and harmed women. Brilliant work by women to build the support and achieve this! #ResistPersistDeliver #TUCWomen #TUCWomensConference

Who were the undercover cops who deceived women into sexual relations? Officers infiltrated a variety of movements and leftwing groups, with some fathering children with women they met on deployments #SpyCops www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is one of many reasons we need to separate. Let these stinky-arse men be absolutely revolting together.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

Lapdancing club stays open for another year – but sex offender former owner is officially banned

“Pornography depicting strangulation should be made illegal along with other kinds of “legal but harmful” sexual material, according to an independent review for the UK government.” Agreed! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Sir Keir keeps talking about “safe” spaces instead of “single-sex” spaces. This doesn't reflect the Manifesto wording. To reassure women that they are taking their rights seriously politicians must talk about single-sex services 👇 sex-matters.org/posts/stand-...

'A source close to the review, which could be published as soon as this week, said that while #pornography had always been a “fact of life” its “scale, nature and impact” had been transformed "dramatically.'' #BertinReview morningstaronline.co.uk/article/mali... www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It has been another extraordinary week of fallout from the Sandie Peggie case, which escalated as the week went on.

Over 90% of single parents are women. According to Child Poverty Action Group 49% of children living in lone-parent (lone-mother) families are in poverty. We currently have a UK system that facilitates the large scale financial abuse of single-mothers and their children.

If a father fails to pay the sum, the CMS can remove his passport & his driving licence even imprison him. If you didn’t know that, it’s because the CMS has removed just 3 passports & 1 driving licence since 2019. #FixTheCMS Read more & take action 🔽 brightonsisters.wordpress.com/action-ten-r...

We have written to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, asking that the #police ‘are given the power to remove the vetting from police officers who demonstrate attitudes entirely incompatible with the government’s intention to achieve a major reduction in #MVAWG’ 🔗 www.filia.org.uk/latest-news/...

I am so very proud that we have received this funding. This is such an important campaign ♀️ #EnoughIsEnough #Brighton #ReclaimTheBeach

We cannot trust that violence against women and girls will be properly policed if we cannot trust our Police.

I am exceptionally proud of @sisterssalon.bsky.social for the well reasoned and comprehensive objection that was formally heard today. Sex entertainment venues do not keep women and girls safe.

Happy 💌 valentine's day!! Here's a little tick list to help you find the good guy! You are welcome!! #swornsister

Joshua Grinham, of Georgian Walk in St Leonards, sought to control and manipulate his victim. He came to her own several times to abuse & assault her. Suspended 2yr sentence. 🤷‍♀️ www.theargus.co.uk/news/2493329...

Jimmy Wright, Bexhill, isolated her from her friends and family and took control over significant parts of her life. He also assaulted her on multiple occasions, including strangling her until she stopped breathing. He got 2 yrs 🤷‍♀️ www.theargus.co.uk/news/2493037...

Lets normalise holding police perpetrators of abuse to account. The high court ruling, making it harder for the police to remove abusers has handed perpetrators a uniform & a warrant card. #PoliceBrutality #DomesticAbuse #SexualViolence #MeToo #stoprape #enoughisenough #SussexPolice #PoliceMeToo

Our government’s target to 1/2 male violence against women & girls is ambitious & only possible if this lens is integrated into every area of policy We ask BHCC #HomelessStrategy to reflect & prioritise this Our brief brightonsisters.wordpress.com/sisterssalon... @bhdemocracynews.bsky.social

I love knowing at the end of a long day that I have a whole day of Tribunal Tweets to catch up on. 🥳

Brighton needs homes that are affordable, large enough to live AND cook in, and you can have your own furniture in. Massive development in Hove is all fully furnished, tiny non-kitchens, and next to no living space for ridiculous rent prices. We need homes fit for purpose.

ICYMI: Objectors dog Pussycat Club as owner looks to renew Brighton licence

"Campaign group Sister Salon announced last June that it would object to the licence renewal" And we did Important to note there are record numbers of objections this year See 🧵for our objections #PussyCatClub #NotBuyingIt #EndDemand @WhiteRibbon_UK www.brightonandhovenews.org/2025/02/08/o...

Strip clubs are magnets for sexual predators & normalise the objectification & dehumanisation of all women. They are outdated & have no place in a community that seeks to respect women & girls & to end male violence against us. #NotBuyingIt #EndDemand brightonsisters.wordpress.com/sister-salon...

A reminder that women's pain does not register, and we are only seen through our reproductive value. (Here are some choice quotes from something I read on Reddit) These are quotes from one man to his girlfriend.
