Women’s Aid stand in solidarity with @jessphillipsmp during this challenging time, as she done previously with countless women who have experience abuse.
Domestic abuse is a national emergency. Women are twice as likely to be killed by a partner than by fire or gas in their home. So why isn’t this treated as the crisis it is?
This #16Days, help us bring awareness and fund life-saving services: https://t.co/Foys17i49P
The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.
As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
*Content warning: this video includes survivors speaking about domestic abuse.* We helped Lucy escape abuse, but there are thousands more like her who desperately need us this winter. Please donate to our life-saving services today: https://t.co/4Hnw1LKdUT
This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating sisterhood! 👭 We asked some of our incredible supporters to share what empowerment means to them.
To us, empowerment means lifting our sisters up so we can stand together against #VAWG.
What does empowerment mean to you?

It’s weird because just a few weeks ago conservatives were howling that if we left Afghanistan, women would be punished for their sexual choices by a repressive religious regime out to control their bodies. Imagine.
This #IDEVAW follow this important account & remember the women in the UK who have been killed by men over the past year. Not an easy read, but an important one #16Days
Today, we launch #CrimeNotCompliment with @PlanUK.
Women, girls & marginalised genders are being followed, shouted at, touched, groped and grabbed.
This violence goes unchallenged & unchallenged
We want it to stop.
It's time for change.

I thought I’d explain what happened today because I’m absolutely exhausted and tbh I think a light needs to be shone on this. Especially given so many people like me seem to experience the same thing.
