Reclaim These Streets - Edinburgh

Edinburgh's streets should be safe for everyone. Campaigning to end Public Street Harassment & Sexual Violence. #ReclaimTheseStreets

[Reclaim These Streets - Edinburgh @RTS_Edinburgh]

We’re changing things up a wee bit at Reclaim These Streets #Edinburgh, and passing our Twitter account to the new social media leads. Our focus will remain the same — keep an eye out for new, upcoming campaigns on here! #ReclaimTheseStreets #WomenSupportingWomen

[Reclaim These Streets - Edinburgh @RTS_Edinburgh]

This time limit will now be extended to two years, and there will be a renewed push to ensure police and prosecutors are alive to incidents of coercive control, which are often linked with incidents of domestic abuse. #ReclaimTheseStreets #EveryWoman

This is my niece ❤️ (elected as School Cllr at the age of five).

[Change the Chat @ChangeTheChat]

This is Eva. She asked if we’d be chatting with girls, so we have been working on a schools pilot. We’ve spoken to teachers and local authorities; we're now exploring funding for 2022.

Have an idea on how we can build our movement? #BeLikeEva - tell us what you'd like to change

Solidarity from Edinburgh ✊

[Stop Uyghur Genocide @UyghurStop]

On the 24th of October, Tibetans, Hongkongers and Uyghurs across Europe will stand together to Say No to the Genocide Games.

Join our alternative torch relay in Trafalgar square to reclaim the Olympic spirit of solidarity and shared humanity.

If “never again” is to mean anything more than a soundbite, China’s crimes against humanity must be taken seriously.

That’s why, as a young Jew, I’m organising this alternative torch rally tomorrow to #ReclaimTheOlympics, hand in hand with Uyghur, Tibetan and Hongkonger allies.

[SWATraining @TrainingSwa]

Come and join us celebrate the launch of our animation, 'Out of the Box –Together for Gender Equality'.

It illustrates the interconnections between gender inequality and violence against women, touching on the realities and experiences of the everyday

It's incredible to see the power of social media especially in helping to build a mass national campaign in under 24 hours. We're incredibly proud to be supporting this incredible campaign that has been started by GirlsNightIn Edinburgh.

[Not On My Campus UK @NotOnMyCampusUK]

We must recognise spiking is not an incident that occurs just during freshers weeks and then disappears until next year. It impacts students throughout the year, and we need to be working collaboratively, especially in partnership, to help promote a safer nightlife for all.

A thread on the recent spiking incidents (both in drinks & with needles), and signs to look out for:

Spiking cases: a quick🧵

Anyone can be a victim of spiking, regardless of gender/age/how much alcohol (if any!) you drink.

The blame & responsibility lies SOLELY with the perpetrators, however with the rise in cases, here's a quick thread if you're worried about someone 👇

[UN Women @UN_Women]

The future is better with women at the table.

Women leaders have been underrepresented, undervalued and undermined for far too long.

High time women claim their space!

[Neurodiversity Training UK @NeurodiversityT]

ADHD in women & girls is as common as ADHD in men & boys… but presents slightly differently - We diagnose & support 4 males to 1 female in a childhood resulting in unnecessary health problems for the majority of young women with ADHD we miss @LaylaMoran https://t.co/0Qqls8NA1f

[Abbie Richards @abbieasr]

What a wildly patronizing and misogynistic way to talk about me and my work. The @guardian would NEVER have described a male researcher/communicator like this.

[Dr Nina Burrowes @NinaBurrowes]

@RTS_Edinburgh we're going to be in Scotland for most of November. If the dates work could we join you for #ReclaimTheNight?

Maybe the van can be part of the march??

The first in person @ChangeTheChat event since the pandemic (well, hybrid meeting). So many amazing women doing amazing things 💥

[Change the Chat @ChangeTheChat]

💥 Our first #Amplify meeting was held in Edinburgh tonight and we are buzzing! Thank you to @mridul_wadhwa and @RTS_Edinburgh for partnering with us, and to the amazing women who came along to share, support and help to build this thing. More dates coming soon 🔥 #ChangeTheChat

[Reclaim These Streets - Edinburgh @RTS_Edinburgh]

The problem isn’t a lack of innovative digital solutions: it’s the inequality between the sexes.

Violence against women is both its cause and its consequence.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

[Don't be That Guy @ThatGuyScotland]

Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy
