It’s #InternationalNursesDay2021. And if you believe they deserve a proper pay rise instead of a hashtag, a clap and rainbow badges pinned to the lapel of ministers who cut their pay yearly in real terms, RT this 💙

@JamesReckons Whole-heartedly agree. Nobody should feel they’re taking a risk by walking in their community

“Let me know you got home safely” . . . . said no man to his mates ever

Here’s the link for the government survey which has been reopened so more of us can contribute to shaping future policies on tackling violence against women and girls

@charliewalduck It is!
But believe me when I say, for a woman, the fear of being ‘pounced on’ would be there

[Annabel @annabel_49]

This is NOT about woman versus man.
This is women asking men to just listen to us; hear our experiences, and stand with us against the small minority creating the fear

@JamesReckons I did clarify in my subsequent tweet

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@OliRegan I’m really not. I’m saying that from a young age & throughout their lives women are forced to think & behave differently regarding their personal safety. Not because all men are a threat, but because they don’t know which of the small % of men are!

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@OliRegan Missing the point:
‘a long journey’ vs EVERY journey home!

[Annabel @annabel_49]

Clearly some men do check their mates get home without incident . . . but the incidents they’re fearful of are not the same.
Also, would men be scared of the female cab driver/women at the corner/woman walking too close/woman smiling?

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@MrMoose98148461 I am so very sorry your daughter endured that horrific experience, and that the school then saw fit to uproot her. Truly awful x

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@MrMoose98148461 That’s really sweet.
I just think it comes from a different place to why girls/women say it - the unsaid fear that we may not get home safe

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@cherie2316 That’s lovely! I’m also educating my two sons to be better men of the future.

@megh4nm4c We are potentially now using the services of an engineer who recently left BG. We have already phoned & emailed to express our solidarity with the strike.

[Annabel @annabel_49]

Supposed to have our new boiler installed this week. It was cancelled due to the strike. Am I annoyed? No - I’m disgusted at the way British Gas employees are being treated! Truly disgraceful. . . #StopTheBritishGasFire

[Annabel @annabel_49]

@LynieT @santanderukhelp @santanderuk What a shameful way to treat customers 😡
