The bravery to do this - women will know the learnt hyper-vigilance & internal battle of do I move/do I stay/do I risk making him more angry/does sitting still mean it will escalate? The comments show how much men still don't understand/don't want to see the dynamics @ play here.
I happened to walk into the House of Commons as a spectator at just the moment this incredible woman stood to speak earlier in the week & got to hear this in the room. Fate. A sensational person and speaker ❤️
The Government must stop talking and start acting to properly monitor violent repeat perpetrators of violence against women and girls.
No one else should suffer a completely avoidable death at the hands of someone known to police and probation.
Here’s to a sweet 58th! Thank you so much for your outpouring of love. Whether you texted, emailed, or posted on social media, every birthday message I received today meant a lot to me. Looking forward to seeing what this upcoming year has in store. 💕
Can we please all agree to stop allowing random talentless middle class people to have such an influence on young people? Why are we being encouraged to compare our lives to people so out of touch with reality?
Any lone, plain clothed police officer who engages with a woman on her own will now verify their identity through a new process.
We know we need to regain women’s trust.
We fully accept the onus is on us to verify we are who we say we are & that we are acting appropriately.
