Last month, we launched our newest report to signal 15 years since the Equality Act was made. It was a hopeful and engaging evening, showing the need for further protections. You can find our report here: https://t.co/Dqmlb3qrLO

A huge thanks to all who attended! @DrSuriyah

Really glad to have seen this post by The Guilty Feminist on Instagram yesterday sharing that Endometriosis is now on the Government’s agenda. It’s about time that Women’s health was taken seriously. You can read more here:

Many women with low incomes struggle to access the mental health support they need. Nottingham Women's Centre is raising funds to provide free, life-changing specialist therapy for these women in our city.

A reminder as Tommy Robinson marches for "free speech" in London today:

It’s far easier to defend the right to hold bigoted opinions than it is to defend bigotry itself. Free speech is about far more than your right to insult anyone you choose and call yourself a hero.

⚠️ Violence against women is a global emergency.

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by an intimate partner or family member.

#ForAllWomenAndGirls, the world must prevent violence and hold perpetrators accountable.

Herzog is President of a state committing genocide, that has also carried out illegal attacks on other sovereign nations.

We should not be welcoming him, but arresting and investigating him for war crimes.

It's beyond time to hold Israeli politicians to account.

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

This Government is welcoming the President of Israel who was cited by the ICJ for genocidal intent and claimed there ‘are no innocent civilians in Gaza’.

While the UK brazenly ignores its own legal obligations to actively prevent and punish genocide, we are clear: sanctions now!

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The Government must impose widespread sanctions on Israel.

Alongside @Imran_HussainMP, I'll be launching a new Parliamentary Working Group for Sanctions on Israel when Parliament returns.

It will bring together MPs, Lords, lawyers, NGOs and justice campaigns to demand sanctions

"This is the worst I have seen in my near 25 years of humanitarian work."

Edem Wosornu, from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, tells @krishgm that "the world's attention needs to be on Sudan".

Journalists are #NotATarget.

Attacks against journalists are attacks against fundamental freedoms.

A free press is essential to human rights, democracy and the rule of law; and to ensure the truth is brought to light and perpetrators brought to account.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Climate change is real and is affecting poor people and Black people and Asian people disproportionately in this country and globally.

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

I’ve written to the PM demanding greater global protections for reporters.

At least 189 journalists have been killed in Gaza – many targeted for exposing Israel’s crimes.

This is a war on truth. We must push for an international convention for the safety of media workers.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Last month, I warned that proscribing Palestine Action would result in the mass criminalisation of people who are not even members of the group.

Now more than 500 people have been arrested.

I voted against the proscription. We shouldn't be conflating protest with terrorism.

What is transmisogyny? 🧵

In a society with strict ideas about gender roles, the perception of trans women is shaped by patriarchal ideas about femininity.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Amnesty strongly condemns Israel’s deliberate killing of journalists in an air strike on a media tent in occupied Gaza City.

Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues have been the eyes and voices of Gaza. Starved and exhausted, they continued to bravely report from the frontlines, despite death threats and immense grief.

No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed than Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

There must be an independent and impartial investigation into the killings of Palestinian journalists, with justice and full reparation for their families. States must urgently act to bring an end to Israel’s genocide now.
