[Animal Rising @AnimalRising]

Our lead investigator of RSPCA Assured farms, Rose, was interviewed on LBC Radio to talk about the RSPCA Assured scheme. The RSPCA's internal review of the scheme minimised the few issues it claimed to have found, and attempted to absolve the RSPCA of “welfare washing”.

Our evidence collected from multiple Assured farms, along with evidence from many other groups, suggests this review, much like the scheme itself, was not fit for purpose.

It’s inconceivable that the world’s largest animal charity will continue to endorse industrialised animal suffering. We will continue exposing the scheme and demanding the RSPCA drop the scheme and stop rubber-stamping cruelty for good.

[Rape Crisis England & Wales @RapeCrisisEandW]

Our joint report with @imkaan, #NotSafeHere, reveals how women who arrive in the UK in search of sanctuary are instead trapped within a system that puts them at further risk of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation

Why aren’t more Western feminists calling out this systematic behaviour? This is meant as a form of domination and dehumanisation. It is a form of gender-based violence.

A Windrush pensioner has had his UK passport cancelled 3x w/o warning during a punishing 42-yr battle with the Home Office. Augustin Castang, 68, says it’s been a ‘stab in the heart’ & that as an introvert, ‘he didn’t know who to ask for help’https://t.co/US2znUrFnw

Dear @UKLabour,

Stop targeting disabled people in an attempt to to seem fiscally tough. It's failing, and instead of making you look strong, it's exposing your ethical weakness.

Do better.

The horrific details surrounding Sara Sharif’s tragic death are a reminder of how vulnerable children, particularly from marginalised communities, can be in abusive environments. It underscores the urgent need for robust support systems that address their complex needs.

In 2014, Valerie Forde and her daughter were murdered after her reports of life-threatening abuse were dismissed by police as property damage. @Sistah_Space are campaigning to ensure frontline professionals receive mandatory cultural competency training.
