The #SriLankan authorities must put an end to the impunity enjoyed by groups that incite hatred and carry out acts of violence against religious minorities. They have a duty to protect vulnerable groups and hold the perpetrators accountable

As a student at @sheffielduni I organised a protest against a transmisogynistic speaker. I don't just say I'll fight transmisogyny, I've done it. #nuslgbtplus18

Every day this #FairtradeFortnight we'll be introducing you to one of the amazing Fairtrade farmers and workers from around the world.

Today, meet Diomides, who is in charge of agricultural management in Coobana. Find out what #Fairtrade means to him.

Honestly appalled that @LabourStudents have allowed a trans woman to be housed with men without her consent at #lsnc18. Doing so has triggered gender dysphoria and distress, and is not OK at an event that is supposed to prize trans inclusion.
