We’ll therefore pass the baton to our sisters at @sbsisters & @LAWRSuk.

Please follow them & support them to ensure that the Government’s reservations are removed & migrant women have access to the life-saving support & protection they need. [4/5]

Made sure all members new of the amazing work of @EilidhWhiteford and her team as well as the brilliant folk of @ICChangeUK who worked relentlessly with civil society organisations and charities to get the legislation through and ensure it was then ratified.

[Lucy Rose Hadley @lucyrosehadley]

After the Istanbul Convention was finally ratified in 2022, looking forward to GREVIO and @UKParliament holding the UK govt accountable for delivery. Discussed how far we still have to go before all survivors access their rights with @SBSisters and @ICChangeUK today

[Liri Kopaci-Di Michele @LiriKopaci]

Cross party support, role of parliaments & building alliances including with specialised women’s organizations & service providers is v. important. As parliamentarians important you hold government accountable.

.@ICChangeUK is a grassroots organization which has campaigned for signature & ratification of @coe #IstanbulConvention. Glad #UK ratified convention but there’s so much work ahead for its effective implementation & to ensure the protection of all #women from violence.

We were pleased to attend the #womensparliament in Cambridge today to mark #InternationalWomensDay. Great to share about the #IstanbulConvention & the UK's ratification with reservations ✍️

[IC Change @ICChangeUK]

Could you be our next Policy & Parliamentary Engagement Lead? We’re looking for a policy & parliamentary engagement expert to take on this key role in the campaign to help secure a life-saving law for women in the UK: the #IstanbulConvention. https://t.co/TY62kpPgRa

Thanks to @baronessgale & the @ICChangeUK for today’s fantastic event.

We celebrate the UK ratifying the Istanbul Convention, but by reserving article 59, the govt contributes to migrant women’s vulnerability to experiencing gender-based abuse.
