Great piece by @DaveBurke12. Proud to work for @RapeCrisisEandW and amazing partners to push for meaningful action to stop violence against women and girls. ⚖️ #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #WomensRights https://t.co/Y86ClHr6YH

Too often, survivors face a system that is underfunded & not fit for purpose — from long waits for specialist support, to a justice system that fails to treat them fairly. This has to change.

[Maria Fsadni @MariaFsadni]

Every woman who has experienced abuse deserves safety, support & justice.⚖️
I’m proud to be starting my new Policy & Media role at @RapeCrisisEandW — pushing for specialist services & a justice system for survivors.

A damning report shows the govt ignored half the national recommendations from domestic homicide reviews—only 25% fully implemented.
We need more leadership to prioritise all women's lives, not just ‘the lucky’. https://t.co/iE1di7kBeq

Yesterday I felt privileged to attend @KNFMHBV Day of Memory, honouring Shafilea Ahmed & all lives lost to honour-based abuse.

Loved ones shared their memories—a beautiful reminder that behind every name is someone deeply loved. 💜

Yesterday we launched our Media Advocacy Toolkit for survivors of HBA and FM to help them navigate media opportunities. Thank you to @KNFMHBV and members of their Survivor Ambassador Panel for their invaluable insights and contributions to the co-creation of this toolkit.

It was such a privilege to be part of this work and learn alongside such amazing experts and professionals. ❤️

[Karma Nirvana @KNFMHBV]

This week, we've released our Media Engagement Toolkit, prepared as part of the project: Survivor-led Advocacy Training for Survivors of Forced and Child Marriage; with funding from the University of Nottingham’s Impact Accelerator Account, in collaboration with lived experience experts from Karma Nirvana’s Survivor Ambassador Panel.

This resource has been developed to support
survivors in their decision regarding if and how they might want to engage in media interviews and/or other activities with the media. These questions might help you decide if an invitation for engagement you have received is something that you want to do, as well as help you think through the circumstances and conditions under which you would like to talk to the media about HBA. It's also a useful resource for journalists and media professionals working with survivors, as it can help demonstrate what common concerns survivors may have about talking about their experiences in the media.

This toolkit would not have been possible without the input, support and expertise of lived experience experts from Karma Nirvana’s Survivor Ambassador Panel. We deeply appreciate your trust, confidence, and collaboration. A thank you to @NottsPolitics @rightsbeacon @ahrcpress and the @UoNPressOffice AHRC IAA for support throughout this project.

Tomorrow, we are hosting our #Push4Change Westminster screening of The Push: Murder on the Cliff, a two-part documentary exploring the tragic case of Fawziyah Javed, who was pushed to her death with her unborn baby by her husband from Arthur’s Seat in 2021. This event will commemorate Fawziyah, and act as a pledge to do all we can to end preventable deaths such as Fawziyah’s in the future. This date is also significant, as this event will take place on what should have been Fawziyah’s baby’s third birthday.

This event aims to raise awareness about #HonourBasedAbuse and the need for a statutory definition for HBA. Karma Nirvana alongside sector partners have been campaigning for a statutory definition, and launched the campaign, #Push4Change off the back of the documentary,

@EVAWuk new guidelines on how the media can report on rape in a responsible way. 📣 Great study of how linguistics carries subliminal myths on rape that need to be challenged.

How men disappear from the problem of [men’s] “violence against women”. Jackson Katz on the passive voice: “We talk about how many women were raped last year, not about how many men raped women.” This shifts the focus from men to women. @jacksontkatz https://t.co/a3bB2nMlGO

I'll be honest, I'd like to be home today, paint, cook etc
But people have lost their businesses over night, folks no longer as safe in local areas. Why should good people feel they have to justify their existence or be scapegoated?
This isn't the Britain we want to be in.

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.

He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.

When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.

@PayzeeMalika @CosmopolitanUK @JenniSavin @Claire_Hodge @LaurenAlexis Payzee, I'm so sorry this has happened. Have you tried contacting IPSO? Cosmopolitan are signed up and this seems in breach of Clause 1 of IPSO's Code. Hopefully they'll respond without you having to complain🤞🤞 but just in case - https://t.co/YpPFOdWp66
