Really gutting that Labour and Tories chose to vote against this important bill today.

Happily, it passed anyway. Not Proven has been abolished, a specialist court will handle rape and sexual assault cases, and victims will be better supported thanks to the changes made.

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.

They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.

If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

No messages of anger or disgust from Farage, Reform or Musk about one of the biggest child grooming gangs in UK who were sentenced yesterday.

It's almost like they don't actually care about keeping children safe but have an ulterior motive?

Hope those sentenced rot in prison.

There are women in this world who are not allowed to have a window purely on the basis that they’re women, and it’s just allowed to happen.

Can 2025 please be the year the rest of the world helps the women & girls of Afghanistan?

If it weren't for a supermarket security guard persuading a woman to make a complaint against Pelicot for up-skirting, his horrific crimes would not have come to light.

While we celebrate the courage of Gisele Pelicot, let's also rethink our approach to 'minor' sex crimes.

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

If you wonder why women don't report rape, consider this. Pelicot was raped countless times by 100s of men, recorded 20,000 times. With all this documented PROOF, it's still had to go to trial, men still denied rape & there is still no guarantee they'll all be jailed.

This photo made my day. Solidarity with #GiselePelicot and all survivors.

I dont think the tories met one promise in their 2019 manifesto. Labour have already got cracking on new deal for workers, nationalising rail, NHS reform, housebuilding and more. So much whinging from the right its incredible to see the double standards.

[Ellie Wilson @ellieokwilson]

A reminder that it’s rape even if he’s your favourite athlete. It’s rape even if he’s a famous celebrity. It’s rape even if he’s talented. It’s rape even if you found him inspirational. Stop excusing the actions of abusive men just because you admire them.

[Jean Hatchet @JeanHatchet]

He raped her so hard she had a heart attack and died.

Let that sink in.

This is what women are dealing with. Don’t tell us we should be kind, be grateful we keep our murderous fury in check at all. https://t.co/AlR00y99y1

[Kate isn't really here any more @katebevan]

Jesus Christ, the mayor of Mazan, where Gisele Pelicot was raped by some 80 men while drugged by her husband: "It's not that bad, no kids were involved, nobody died." I mean, sure, not all men, but fucking hell, that man, and those men.

[Alice Vinten @AVintenAuthor]

It was the offence of upskirting that resulted in the discovery of Dominique Pélicot’s horrific crimes.

This is why all ‘minor’ sex crimes (flashing, peeping toms, revenge porn, voyeurism, etc) should be investigated seriously, quickly, and robustly.

No sex crimes are minor.

This is why I laugh at women who disparage feminism under the male gaze. Baby, whether you like it or not, feminism changed your life. Without feminism women are nothing, we're dehumanized objects under the patriarchy - dey play.

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

80 men, at least, in a town of only 6000.

And the horror only multiplies - some of these men are nurses and paramedics, with access to unconscious women.

Their professional histories need to be investigated. Every woman in their orbit is a potential victim.

[Sam @SamanthaTeta]

global headlines back to back.

what an absolutely sick, terrifying world women must navigate.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

King Charles is set for a £45m pay rise (50% rise in his official annual income).

“150,000 pensioners could keep their winter fuel allowance if King Charles did not have a 50% pay rise. What a nation of obedient serfs we are, just sucking this up.”

[Moyo de lioncourt🍉🦋 @Madebabyyyyy_]

You know what's really making me sick? The oppression of women globally.

Afghanistan women no longer have human rights.

Korean women are fighting incels making deep fake porn of them.

Indian women are being raped and murdered

Nigerian women are fighting to retain the VAPPA.
