Mothers flee violence to protect our children & ourselves. Even men with rape convictions get child contact. Why should we be prosecuted? Who wouldn’t run away to protect their kids? @NotSeparation

https://t.co/fOYONyDnLN Lords must vote down violent fathers’ lobby amendment to Crime & Policing Bill. 75% of parents who flee overseas are primary-carer mothers, most escaping domestic abuse. If #familycourt protected children, mothers wouldn’t have to flee. But it doesn’t.

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

Research by Domestic Abuse Commissioner @domestic26441 confirms #familycourts often dismiss or minimise domestic abuse as irrelevant to a child’s safety, and children are murdered by fathers, like the beautiful boys of @clairethrossell.

Huge victory for the movement of mothers fleeing violence! We've campaigned for abolition of "presumption" since 2017 joining @NotSeparation on monthly pickets outside #familycourt. Government must act NOW to change the law. Protect children from violent fathers.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

I'm extremely pleased to see the government announce that it is going to repeal the presumption of parental involvement.

This is a huge victory for @clairethrossell and others have fought tirelessly to ensure children lives aren't put at risk due to unsafe contact orders.

Over 1,000 police officers were accused of domestic violence in the last 3 years – but just 69 constables lost their jobs or voluntarily quit. Can we expect police to arrest other rapists and domestic abusers? https://t.co/H92bK75WZk

Look at white British Philip Wood, recently jailed for raping a 12-year-old girl. He’d been in the anti-immigrant 2024 Rotherham riots. He’s since been given a 27-month sentence - for RAPE of a child! Why aren’t politicians and media screaming about that? https://t.co/bkvMLOtmFO

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

Rape has been decriminalised: 1 in 4 women suffer rape, but under 2% of men reported get convicted – most are white British.

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

We'll be there today. Stop removing children from their loving mothers. End family court prejudices against those of us suffering domestic violence, sexism and racism.

[Support not Separation @NotSeparation]

Join us for our monthly picket of Central #FamilyCourt, 42-49 High Holborn, London WC1V 6NP and here online. Stop taking children from loving mothers! For our rights to have & keep our children.

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

We always said the issue was not the race of the perpetrators, but the collusion of the police. Now we know they were rapists too. When will they be prosecuted?

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

Finally it's exposed. Police also raped child victims in Rotherham. In 2014 we asked Parliament: "What is the relationship between officers & perpetrators? What did police gain by not arresting them? Were they paid or afforded favours?" There was no reply.

Lisa of Women Against Rape speaks about the report by Reem Alsalem (UN Rapporteur on Violence vs Women and Girls), about the deliberate femicide-genocide in Palestine. See Reem Alsalem's extraordinary interview on Al Jazeera: https://t.co/V5uzHGOv3g

Increased number of babies born with deformities, due to white phosphorous, contaminated water & soil.
STOP STARVING GAZA! WE WILL NEVER FORGET NOR FORGIVE THIS REPRODUCTIVE GENOCIDE!

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

“Apocalyptic.” UN Rapporteur Reem Alsalem exposes deliberate femicide-genocide in Palestine. “Gaza has entered Level 5 which is the most severe form of famine.” Israel is targeting women & girls to wipe out the Palestinian people. https://t.co/ziVs2Zp2S3

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

Baby formula is prevented from entering Gaza, a risk to new born babies, since women can no longer breastfeed. At least 17,000 women suffer from malnutrition, 60,000 children under the age of 5.

67 children have died of starvation. 2,600 miscarriages. Foetal deaths in the 100s

WAR said: "Every cut to social care makes older women and women with disabilities more vulnerable to violence. Disabled women are being pushed into dependence on family friends or even strangers for help and often are taken advantage of." @WinVisibleWomen

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

Samantha was raped by strangers after Hammersmith & Fulham Council denied her urgent care. It left her angry & traumatised: "I can't sleep. I have nightmares. I have PTSD”. Read the My London report here https://t.co/LU1aIAPg4i.
