This is such a sad story. Maarib Al Hishmawi was abused by her own parents and not given the right to choose when it came to her marriage. To make matters worse, the parents were freed on bond. Minimal sentencing is an on going problem when it comes to violence against ♀️ https://t.co/hha6HNlrPq

Violence against women and children on the rise globally. Why was this Man freed at all in bonds..? Abused Texas Teen Maarib Al Hishmawi Refused To Marry Older Man | Crime Time https://t.co/ADga05naF4

"White men perpetrated sexual violence against black women, while black men were brutalized by white mobs for having consensual sex with white women." A powerful quote from an important article about Ida B. Wells and the new memorial in AL. https://t.co/GO4j6wHNcU #FHSFEM18

A very true statement. Criminalizing abortions will just lead to unsafe abortions which are far worse than medically sound ones. Anything that restricts women from controlling their own bodies can be considered violence against them. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/Hkw9rrEhiz

We often actively think about instances of violence against women in the US, but we have to remember that it happens in every country and we need to fight for these women too. Women are starting to have to take things into their own hands in India #fhsfem18 https://t.co/EjxvsuSYxV

Fear &panic has gripped India and people have lost faith in the Modi Govt.
On April 15, the people of Delhi came together to protest against the rising tide of violence against women. Here's what they had to say: #WakeUpModi

Insaaane how victims are still being blamed for the actions of their attackers. In no way did the outfits of the women have anything to do with Larry Nassar sexually assaulting more than 150 of them. https://t.co/BtbM9Fdq2T

This is how violence and harassment in the workplace continues. If employees that have a history of these acts are kept then they will think that what they are doing is not bad enough to even get their job taken away and it will inevitably continue to happen. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/FBBwx68tDA

This article includes info about Justice for Her, an organization that developed a training program for police officers and lawyers in India on how they can deal with cases on violence against women more effectively #fhsfem18 https://t.co/Cmndq5kb28

Here's how we can help to stop violence against women in #India https://t.co/6IP3TMwCTF

I was anticipating the community of concern talk to include the information that "women should or shouldn't do x y or z in order to prevent themselves from getting sexually harassed" but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the presentation included this picture #fhsfem18

[Chloe @ccorkeryfhs]

In keeping with the theme of Samantha's presentation, the BBC tv show Collateral has sparked controversy by depicting women being sexually and physically abused for the sake of a plot line. #fhsfem18

Morocco finally made violence against women illegal but activists still say that the law does not go far enough in fostering equality for women in Morocco. #fhsfem18

If Trump were to nominate someone to be the director of the Office on Violence Against Women then maybe we could try to do something about the connection between violence against women and mass shootings... #fhsfem18 https://t.co/H1ctVvNPF5

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Trump has not nominated anyone to be the director of the Office on Violence Against Women in the Justice Department.

It's one of more than 200 high-profile appointments that Trump has left vacant over the past 13 months. https://t.co/h7Bm0wZ6FG

[Chloe @ccorkeryfhs]

I have been seeing this info about mass shooters "practicing on women first" However, how are gun control laws going to keep guns away from people with history of domestic violence if they cant be kept away from people with other disturbing pasts? #fhsfem18 https://t.co/niPek4vNVa

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

One of the most common patterns seen in mass shooters is a history of violence against women. But I highly doubt you'll see folks in power calling for more gun restrictions for men w/ a history of domestic violence since that would impact many in the gov't & police forces 🙃

[Chloe @ccorkeryfhs]

Men should not pretend like they need to avoid women in order to keep themselves from acting inappropriately towards them. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/EiUXCX7kJU

Scheer on whether he has every acted inappropriately towards women: "A good friend once told me nothing good ever happens in Ottawa after 8pm and I have lived by that rule" #hw

This bill was passed less than 1 week after Larry Nassar was sentenced 175 years in prison. “The meeting made clear that USA Gymnastics was fostering a culture that put money and medals first, far ahead of the safety and well-being of athletes,” -Dianne Feinstein. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/fc3byXk7gi

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

BREAKING: By a vote of 406-3, the House just passed our bill to protect young athletes from abuse. Passage of our bill wouldn’t have been possible without the courage of women who came forward to share their deeply painful experiences. Today is their day. #TimesUp

[Chloe @ccorkeryfhs]

It is important to show rape and sexual assault in movies and on TV because these traumas happen everyday and give voices to the people who experience them. However, these attacks are often times merely used as plot lines. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/GH7aLeUWty

Keira Knightley gets real about sexual violence against women in movies. https://t.co/PMCMCu1nvc

Hate crime: "a prejudice-motivated crime, usually violent, which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group or race." Importantly, the Fawcett Society wants misogyny to be recognized as a hate crime. #fhsfem18 https://t.co/RhkgcdXKbj

[Fawcett Society @fawcettsociety]

We live in a society where violence against women & girls is endemic, normalised and only just beginning to be challenged. A good place to start is to strengthen the law. Our #SexDiscrimination Law Review today calls to make misogyny a hate crime: https://t.co/Yh84zgNEAG #TimesUp
