Don’t understand why politicians use phrases like “culture wars” in interviews etc. Happy to be corrected but my guess is most voters who aren’t perennially online don’t know what they’re talking about. What are they trying to say and who do they think they are they speaking to?

[Alison Moyet @AlisonMoyet]

It is widely understood that people need safe spaces and it is they that determine what their safe space looks like. No less, raped women deserve to determine their own safe space and are supremely deserving of care.

The Victims and Prisoners Bill will commence Committee Stage in the @UKHouseofLords tomorrow. This is a vital opportunity for Peers to scrutinise the legislation in detail and consider any changes that have been put forward to improve the Bill on behalf of survivors.

50 Years of Women's Aid ⭐️

2024 marks 50 years since the Women's Aid federation in England was founded, that officially makes this our golden anniversary. While there's been a lot of positive change since 1974, the reality for a lot of women today is far from golden.

@JMoncktonSmith @uniofglos @suejhaile50 @stupotwebb @ellis_sarahl Huge congratulations Jane! So very much deserved x

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

Specialist by and for services offer culturally specific services where survivors who may not have otherwise come forward feel listened to, understood and supported.

Investing in them would save lives and could help save up to £3,898,100,000.

We've been raising concerns & asking questions about how the decision to release some offenders from prison early will impact survivors of domestic abuse. We're still awaiting the vital details we need to know to provide us with assurance that this is being handled safely.

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

The government must enable survivors to receive transcripts of their court hearings free of charge. It is unacceptable that survivors are being charged extortionate fees to access this important information. [1/4]

We’ve published a first-of-its-kind report into what influences young people’s attitudes towards domestic abuse, proving a direct link between the viewing of harmful misogynist content and the normalisation of unhealthy behaviours in relationships https://t.co/4hEmzare8F

For those questioning on here why women are speaking to #Dispatches and not going to the police, the @RapeCrisisEandW website will show you exactly why - less than 2% of reported rapes result in a charge.

Here @VeraBaird explains how awful the system is.

Rapists don’t rape everyone they date, domestic abusers can be lovely to their friends, murderers don’t kill everyone they meet. Abusers can be charming and kind in all sorts of circumstances, this does not mean that they are not also capable of horrible abuse.

Tell me again how we are “crying wolf” by calling out the horrific level of abuse in #family courts?!
