Congratulations to Kamala Harris, who was sworn in today as the first female, Black & South Asian VP in US history. This is a historic moment as Kamala Harris paves the way for many more incredible female leaders for years to come, inspiring hope in a generation of women & girls.

According to @WRAP_UK, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a year's worth of potatoes thrown away from UK homes is capable of melting almost 1 million square meters of Arctic Ice. The festive time can often play a major role in the amount of food we waste. 1/2

Was this already over 2 years ago? How time flies! Although we've done a lot #crafting and #baking baking, read various books, watched some inspiring films... and learnt about wine since then! Aside from monthly meetings our members can go to several clubs. #StreathamCommon #SW16

On #WorldAIDSDay, we stand in solidarity with all those living with or affected by HIV and remember those that we have lost. The WI had a campaign on HIV & AIDS in 1986 to debunk the myth that it wasn’t a women’s issue & challenge prejudiced media representations of the disease.

There are many myths about domestic abuse and its causes. These myths are harmful and deep-rooted. They serve to normalise the abuse and allow it to continue. Similarly, victim blaming statements can be devastating and destructive. 1/2 #16Days
