@strategywoman Kyiv is beautiful. Long may it and Ukraine stand. ❤️

Women aren't people to the Taliban 😢

[Afghanistan Times @AfghanistanTime]

In a shocking new decree, Taliban’s Minister of Virtue, Khalid Hanafi has banned Afghan women from allowing their voices to be heard by other women, even while praying or reciting Quranic verses. This ban prevents women from speaking at checkpoints, limiting female healthcare workers’ ability to care for patients, and demanding full-body coverings, including veils. Afghan women, facing relentless restrictions on their ability to move, work, and now even speak, are calling the decree immobilizing and exhausting.

A powerful display of solidarity by women in London with her sisters in Afghanistan against Taliban oppression.

Covered in blue fabric, each woman has stitched key demands—freedom, human rights, education, work.

Silence is complicity 📣

@Morbidful Such a tragic thing to happen and so avoidable. RIP all those who perished 😢

[Kay @mental_load_k]

@NasimiShabnam I am outraged and horrified and saddened by what the Taliban continue to do to women and girls in Afghanistan. It is treating them as less than human and the world just looks on. Why does the @UN do nothing? Why does @UKLabour do nothing? Because there's no money involved?

@micahneilson @Compo_Simonnite @helenstaniland She's saying no to men who identify as women using women's spaces. Saying no isn't controlling people, it's setting a boundary.

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.

The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.

Meryl Streep at the United Nations: A female cat has more freedoms than a woman in Afghanistan,

"A cat may go sit on her front stoop and feel the sun on her face," Streep said. "She may chase a squirrel into the park. A squirrel has more rights than a girl in Afghanistan."

@AzatAlsalim 😢RIP Farkhunda

[Kay @mental_load_k]

@Tifoasb @says_computer @michaelpforan ? They're not the same thing.

[Kay @mental_load_k]

@Kimberfan76 😢 Oh no. I'm really sorry.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Justice for Grenfell. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. Victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect.

@JamieRHale @ucl @southbankcentre 😔 That's just unacceptable - Universities need to prioritise accessibility issues - they've had so many years to do so. But Congrats on your degree 👏🏻

@QcWynter @CaptainVirgilx I think it read a little like Boghassian's tweet last week, which is why Aussie terfs may feel a little got at?

RIP Fawziyah 😥

[Rebecca Brady @Rebecca_Brady_]

A ceremony’s been held at the bottom of Arthur’s Seat, three years after pregnant lawyer Fawziyah Javed’s husband murdered her by pushing her off the landmark.

A bench has been unveiled, flowers laid and a minute of silence held with her family.

@strategywoman 😥 What horrendous news for Ukraine 😢

[Kay @mental_load_k]

@RexKram55112378 @trbell_ I have no objection to rainbow lanyards worn by anyone. I'm just sad that only certain communities get the awareness/attention. Disabled people are in equal need of inclusion and recognition yet there is nothing for them that I've seen people wearing on trains.

"Women have the right to speak up for their rights, and those of lesbians and children. Calling us ‘hateful’ for doing so is just patriarchal oppression in a new costume."

@Kimberfan76 I hope she turns up 🤞🏻
