An independent body, founded in 2013 the National Commission on Forced Marriage explores forced marriage, to combat this largely hidden practice in the UK.

@valentinaiemmi @Uni_of_Essex @LSEnews Amazing news - and not at all surprising!

Girls in Charbagh Swat stopped from playing cricket match. Self styled custodians of morality raising heads again, militants regroup with impunity, state looks the other way. Those waiting in the wings see it a victory to further entrench themselves in power. A phyrric victory

Some misinfo re #Brand allegations
1️⃣She’s 16 & can consent” - have you heard of ‘grooming’
2️⃣It happened years ago” - sex crimes tend to
3️⃣Go to police” - yes, but few do & only 2% get charged & 1.4% convicted & court backlog of up to 5 yrs
4️⃣He can’t get a fair trial”- lets try

My elegantly elderly husband is on a hugely overcrowded train from York to Newcastle (after incident on line). He is standing, surrounded by under 3Os in seats, usually on their headphones, not even offering him a seat. @LNER

[Payzee @payzeespeaks]

The thing that disturbs me the most is the conversation happening right now around the age of consent.

The age of consent being 16 is certainly something we need a wider conversation on, especially when concerning a 16 year old & 30 year old.

There is no consent there come one

Such heartbreaking news this morning.. so saddened by the devastating earthquake that has hit Morocco. My thoughts are with the victims and their families & all those impacted 😢

Always Yes to genuine Rule of law !
BUT
How many FIRs to your ‘rule of law’ ?
How many imprisonments to ‘cleansing’ and ‘victory’ ? #ImaanZainabMazari ‘awarded’ another FIR… another arrest..

[Afrasiab Khattak @a_siab]

Arresting Human Rights lawyer @ImaanZHazir again in the 3rd FIR after getting bail from the courts in two previous FIRs would be clear misuse of law and order machinery by the deep state. It leaves no doubt about the nature of rule imposed on the country.

Met my client #KhadijahShah in #ATC in the morning & told her that her #bail was fixed on Mon (28th) at the LHC. Now, late afternoon, have just received a message from LHC saying case will be cancelled. This would have been our 6th bench. We still await a hearing. #FreeKhadijah

Mama Nuri. ❤️🧿🧿
My daughter comes to work with me. She’s two years old and already eagerly feeding and helping change baby bedding. If she sees or hears a baby, an adult or any child cry, even hears or sees an animal in pain, Nuri will stop and immediately try and find solutions to cheer them up.
Alhamdolillah all five of my children are the kindest humans I know.

Let’s teach our children kindness so they never ever add to the violence in the world.
Let’s teach them love so they never add to the hate.
Let us learn how to smile, play, be creative and love from them as well!

Keep Nuri and all these children in your prayers.

MashaAllah 🧿🤲🏼

Dragging leading human rights activist & lawyer @ImaanZHazir out of her own home is lowest of the lows.She is voice of voiceless & the true definition of an iron lady.Silencing those who stand up for justice is a blow to fundamental freedoms

#ReleaseImaan #ReleaseAliWazir their arrest is condemned, they must be released. They are the voice of the oppressed and marginalized. This action by the state will alienate the youth.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

After months of supporting their campaign, today I finally met the @AfghanWnt in person. It was an honour to be among such fierce players and to stand with them and ask for FIFA's recognition.

Thank you @khalida_popal and @gomvfc for making this possible ❤️

[Moniza Kakar @Moni_Kakar]

In Afg 🇦🇫, 700 days have passed with Afghan girls being denied the right to education due to the Taliban's ban on schools. This is a grave violation of their human rights. We must continue to shed light on this issue, demand change, 1/2 #AfghanGirlsDeserveEducation #EndTheBan

Just finished watching this documentary and I’m flooded with emotions. All fundamentalist communities/cults are similar in many ways, so, of course, this was all very familiar-especially the treatment of girls. And of course, sexual abuse of children is there- the common theme.

Our thoughts are with Sara’s loved ones in their time of profound grief. Questions remain about the nature of authorities’ knowledge and response, and we will be following this case closely

Prolonged detention of women affiliated with PTI is political victimization and based on trumped up charges designed to make an example of these women to silence us all.
We stand in solidarity with these women and all political prisoners who are targetted for their dissent.
