@LailaMickelwait She should be woman of the year across the board at every women’s organization that does awards. She is the bravest person I can think of. Brava, Gisele, we see you. The shame is theirs.

[Laila Mickelwait @LailaMickelwait]

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.

Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”

On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”

12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

Imagine a world where every child's mental health is as important as their physical health.

UNICEF and partners are urging governments to prioritize mental health in every family, school and community, ensuring children and their families get the support they need. #OnMyMind

Film is one of the UK’s great success stories - creating jobs and growth at home, and flying the flag for British creativity around the world.

Today I’ve introduced new legislation that will put rocket boosters under our incredible independent film sector.

We cannot and will not give up on our calls for an immediate ceasefire both in Gaza and Lebanon,

the immediate and unconditional release of hostages,

and immediate lifesaving aid to all those who desperately need it.

All people in the region deserve to live in peace.

Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe everywhere.

Femicide can and must be prevented.

Every country must invest in prevention, enforce laws, and combat impunity.

Let's demand a world free from fear.

Everyone encounters challenges in life and it's natural to feel anxious, isolated or overwhelmed at times.

Prioritizing mental health is important during moments of difficulty or high stress.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school.

I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world.

Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid.

Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture.

Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now.

It would cost £6bn/year for 10 yrs to bring housing standard up to decent level in UK. More than 50 places across England & Wales acting on #SDH in spite of central government inaction, with Scotland now working with @MarmotIHE. I am optimistic & hopeful @KeirStammer will act.
