The two-child limit is the main driver of child poverty across the UK. We urge the Chancellor to act in the Budget and in the upcoming child poverty strategy. The autumn Budget is the moment to act – for every child, in every nation.

🚨 The Government has announced plans to emulate Denmark's harsh asylum system - widely recognised for its cruel and harmful approach. For some Danish politicians, the openly stated goal is 'zero asylum-seekers'. This should alarm us all. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 1/🧵

"...what kind of politics wishes to “bash back” against these women — fighters for workplace rights, against racism, for migrant justice, and against police intrusion? It’s a serious question that deserves a serious answer." #FiLiA2025 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/snap...

"These are difficult times. But they are also clarifying times. "And I would rather stand in difficulty, among Women who see clearly, than in comfort among those who have chosen to forget, or to be selective." #FiLiA2025 @matriactivista.bsky.social www.matriactivista.com/post/i-stand...

A very thoughtful reflection by @rachelhewitt.bsky.social on #FiLiA2025, the power of feminist organising and the challenges we all need to address. rachelhewitt.substack.com/p/i-was-at-f... 1/2

"#FiLiA2025 debated the rise of misogyny, the spycops scandal, the exploitation of poor women through the surrogacy industry & migrant women & class. Its trade union network shows its keenness to reach out to the labour movement." @filiacharity.bsky.social @mstaronline.bsky.social #UnionsForWomen

Last night, our Director, @selmataha8.bsky.social, joined others in stressing the need for a whole-system approach to tackling VAWG. She called for an end to two-tier discrimination and urged the government to centre Black, minoritised, and migrant women in both policy and funding decisions. 2/2

This week, we’re at the Labour Party Conference. As part of a coalition of specialist organisations, we’re calling on the government to make ending VAWG a political priority - not just for some, but for all. 1/2 #VAWGTakeover

Celebrating the Supreme Court ruling for upholding women's sex based rights. I'm am really looking forward to spending a whole weekend with principled, radical women at #FiLiA2025. It will be such a tonic.
