Two years in the making and one of the reasons we exist as a safety collective is finally in the world. A huge thanks to @Multistory and @BlossomsSelf for breathing life and energy into this personal safety guide by women, girls and non binary folk from Sandwell. 🐾

🚨All male orgs/allies looking to engage with this man on positive action against male violence:

Multiple women spoke out about being abused by Chris who say he then threatened legal action against them. Yet he still speaks to boys in schools about masculinity + male violence...

We love this message from @ImmyKaur in response to the news this week and the experiences of so many womxn for many decades.

[ਇਮਨਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ | Imandeep Kaur @ImmyKaur]

Too many womxn I know have held stories in about the men around them, because sharing would destroy their honour, the shame would be on them, the default would be they were wrong. The harm that is endured physically, mentally, socially endured the shame eats them up, the fact …

The climate emergency and the survival of our planet and home is the biggest safety issue of our generation. We must act now!

@David_Challen All these images of the men going wild makes me fear for the women tonight.
Pack mentality

[David Challen @David_Challen]

There have been horrific videos circulating online this week of a woman being sexually assaulted in London by England fans after our last match.

Men, if you spot any abuse DO NOT stand idly by, please act and report immediately to the emergency services.

@CJR @kristenchick Thank you for the courage to stand up to this blatant abuse of position and power and specifically the abuse against the female photojournalists who were brave enough to step forward.
