All of it’s connected, you just don’t understand how.
“I urge you all, if we want to understand what solidarity means; we’ve got to know what our history is and who the women are that we stand on the shoulders of” - @RehmanYasmin
“We don’t just need change we need a wholesale transformation…it’s time we tackle #VAWG as the national emergency that it is’.’ A keynote speech to remember from minister @jessphillips this morning at #WAConf24
There are no words to convey the power of the address from Yasmin, mother to Fawziyah Javed. She was let down by so many, culminating in her devastating murder. We stand with her family & @KNFMHBV in their work to change the future for many thousands of women. #WAConf24
Our incredible patron Melanie Brown MBE will be joining us for a fireside chat on Wednesday 17th July at our National Conference #FestivalOfWomensAid
Keep an eye out for the full agenda on our website and make sure to get your tickets before they go - https://t.co/noXoufiwFB
Obvious political manifesto fact: If a political party doesn’t mention ending Violence Against Women and Girls in their manifesto- how much they care & prioritise it is obvious(zero). If they don’t mention funding to ensure it’s prioritised - it’s just more noise. We need action!
Keeping women and children safe is not negotiable.
Our CEO @FarahNazeer shares an urgent message to political parties that they must demonstrate a commitment to ending #DomesticAbuse in this election.

We are disappointed that today's @Conservatives Manifesto fails to recognise the reality & reach of #VAWG, with no new commitments to tackle #DomesticAbuse. We must see funding for lifesaving services & a cross government approach that includes housing, health & family courts.
Women’s Aid National Conference is back this summer on the 17th & 18th July and we’d love to see you there!
With a range of leading voices from the domestic abuse sector and beyond, it's set to be an unforgettable event. #EndAbuseTogether

We're relaunching our National Quality Standards, the only accreditation of quality for specialist domestic abuse services. Our NQS ensure services are survivor centred and needs-led. We're hosting two free webinars ahead of the launch⤵️
Email [email protected] to register.
❌ No one should dread the festive period. No one should dread their partner coming home. When home isn't safe, we’re here.
We want to help more women to escape domestic abuse this winter, please donate to our life saving services: https://t.co/4Hnw1LKdUT
Just a reminder that so far, the government has spent:
£2.3 billion on cancelled legs of HS2
£240 million on the Rwanda deportation scheme (and counting)
£800,000 painting a Union Jack on a ministerial jet
We’re looking for an exceptional individual to lead and grow our charity. This is an exciting opportunity to build on SEA’s formative success, as we enter a new, more established stage of our journey.

At Women's Aid we know what a difficult decision this is for @jessphillips & would like to say a huge thank you to Jess for her tireless work in her role as Shadow Minister, and we look forward to continue working her on the back benches, along with the Shadow Home Affairs team.
If Zara Aleena's killer is successfully going to get his sentence reduced because he beat her unconscious before some of the sexual assaults, what does that say about our justice system? He attacked her, sexually assaulted her- he murdered her. If he doesn't serve life, who does?
