Fab review of my book on FiLiA's history. Kay Green can see my admiration for FiLiA & that my invocation of Palestine was not intended to derail it but make it more inclusive . As she says, 'Rahila didn’t throw a dead cat, she threw a live elephant.' https://t.co/Oul9viWlhn

The Southall Black Sisters statement on Filia, Zionism and Palestine is now open fo signatures:

@BevJacksonAuth @SBSisters Again- genocide is not divisive , neither is it a personal agenda.

"It is incumbent on all of us to oppose genocide and apartheid, and to stand up for self-determination." Southall Black Sisters

SBS STATEMENT ON FILIA CONFERENCE: ‘It is in this environment that women felt empowered to attack SBS members on right-wing media platforms like GB News and UnHerd as anti-semites and Hamas apologists.’⁦@SBSisters⁩ https://t.co/F0U3wWOHCT

For those of you have been following the fallout from the @FiLiA_charity conference, here is the SBS statement

[Southall Black Sisters @SBSisters]

'We need feminist spaces that do not ask us to abandon our politics at the door. Until that is a reality, we will continue to speak out. Not for permission, but for liberation.'

My speech at the #FiLiA2025 conference in Brighton is being misquoted to portray me as a supporter of Hamas to suit Zionist agendas. @SBSisters @MaryamNamazie @maryamd_h @beatrixcampbell @GitaSahgal @shularises To set the record straight, here is the recording & speech extract:

I was late but glad to be in time for @RahilaG, stressing environmentalism, internat'lism - and the genocide in Palestine.
"I have fought against religious fundamentalism all my life so no one needs to lecture me on the evils of Hamas.'
Ending with 'Free Palestine!' #filia2025

@SusannaRustin @FiLiA_charity Same here

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

@SusannaRustin @FiLiA_charity Your book, Sexed, is quoted in it. It helped tremendously to pad out the first decade of feminist history in this century. Thank you.

🚨 69% of women and girls have seen or experienced gender-based violence in the last year.

That number should stop us in our tracks. 1/5

I can't help but break my resolve never to use X again but Julie Spin-del strikes again to teach us all that we should never let facts stand in the way of a good story @maryam_dh

[Julie Bindel @bindelj]

I wrote, for @TheSun, about the idiots doing #TeamIran, and how they should perhaps pop over on holiday sometime to check it out:

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

trying not to use X but felt compelled to say. The fall of #Assad government is bad news for the #Rojava women's revolution. The #Islamists taking over hate everything that Rojava stands for - grassroots democracy, womens' rights, ethnic/reigious inclusivity, equality, secularism

Guess what! FB just took down my post announcing that I am leaving #twitter and joining #Bluesky . See below

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

@Lteyn63 Just signed up. But it has far fewer users than Threads

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

Folks I am leaving Twitter and moving on to Threads. I will leave this post up for a while before I delete my account

[Rahila Gupta @RahilaG]

@VeraGrayF I have never heard of it... many of us are thinking of leaving. I think we should en masse as the women's sector decamp to something else.
