Independent experts today urged the UK 🇬🇧 not to ban the “direct action” group @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.

“Acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as #terrorism.”

MPs have voted to decriminalize abortion in England and Wales. New Ipsos in the UK polling finds young men (47%) are significantly less supportive than other cohorts of abortion being legal in all/most cases 👉 https://t.co/7QSg9aP4DK

The risk to our rights is real & now revealing itself -Farages comments should worry everyone who thinks abortion should be safe, legal and no one else’s business here in England. ask your MP to join us protecting abortion access in face of this Trumpian playbook by signing NC17.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Domestic abuse impacts over 800,000 children. This is a sobering fact we must confront head on.

Teaching children about respectful relationships will help to address this harm, alongside investment for services so no child is forced to face abuse alone.

Here we have someone "debating" the supreme court decision apparently
without even understanding that according to the ruling a trans man is legally a woman and should use women's toilets.

Policing womanhood based on biology is.., what sexists do? Why is this good

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Women are unsafe on a daily basis - statistically due to men they already know. Want to make women safer?

Change rape laws, fund refuges properly, end femicide, address misogyny in boys and men, improve healthcare.

Taking aim at trans women does nothing to make women safer.

We will have more to say in due course.

There are too many women in prison – here’s what needs to change, writes @TheHowardLeague chief executive Andrea Coomber #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/d6bmN7NtYH

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

1 in 10 women who are killed by men are killed by their own sons.

Half those sons have untreated mental illness or drug abuse.

Mum is often the last resort and it literally kills women to to cover for state failures.

[Level Up @we_level_up]

Women being released from prison are being given tents because they do not have secure housing. Devastating.

The far-right are sowing fear and division across the globe.

Progressives must act by tackling online hate, challenging extremist rhetoric, and proving democracy can deliver for all.

Researchers at Warwick now think more women are driven to suicide by their domestic abuse perpetrator than are murdered by him. Often the police don't make the link

[UN Office on Drugs & Crime @UNODC]

Over 140 women are killed globally by an intimate partner or family member EVERY DAY❗

Each number represents a life taken, a future erased & a loved one left behind.

There is #NoExcuse.

#16Days

[Laura Janes @LauraJanes_UK]

The UK is the only country in Western Europe to sentence children to life. The number of “child lifers” has increased, as have their minimum terms. This article with @smhulley explores the data & recent changes in law & policy that recognise the distinct needs of this cohort

“The daughter of a vulnerable woman who took her own life in prison after being left without clean underwear for 10 days and denied phone calls with loved ones has called for urgent reform of England’s justice system.”

A soldier, a journalist, a councillor, a nurse - just a few of the 49 men, aged 26-74, on trial for the rape of Gisèle Pelicot.

There is no stereotype of a rapist. They’re the men we know.

And they’re a product of the deeply misogynistic society that lets them get away with it.
