“Charities do not need to wait for the Commission’s guidance to comply with the [Equality] Act and the Code. It is the responsibility of trustees to ensure their charity is compliant with the Code, once it is legally enforceable, and unreasonable delays … may be considered a breach of those responsibilities”

Darlington nurse honoured as a ‘Woman of Distinction’ at Windsor Castle global summit

Bethany Hutchison, the lead nurse in the landmark Darlington nurses case and President of the Darlington Nursing Union, has been honoured as a “Woman of Distinction” at the She Leads UK 2026 honours event at Windsor Castle.

Bethany said:

I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition, but I accept it on behalf of all seven Darlington nurses. Each of my colleagues showed extraordinary courage and resilience, often at considerable personal cost.

“None of us set out to become campaigners. We are nurses who wanted to care for our patients and to be able to change for work in privacy, dignity and safety. When our concerns were dismissed, however, we knew that remaining silent would mean accepting something that was fundamentally wrong.

“Our victory belongs not only to us, but to every woman who has been made to feel unreasonable for asking that her privacy and dignity be respected. I hope this honour will help ensure that our story continues to be heard and that no other group of nurses has to endure what we did.

“Speaking in Washington DC earlier this year showed me that this is not simply a local or even a national issue. Women across the world are asking whether their most basic rights will be protected. I am grateful to She Leads UK for recognising our stand and for giving women of faith the opportunity to encourage one another to lead with courage.”

This is an offensive framing.
At the heart of any support for those who have been subject to domestic or sexual abuse lies a need to tailor support to the survivor and their needs. Providing one service in Edinburgh does not exclude other services.

I am suing PCS Union and need help to fund my case. PCS called for a preliminary hearing to stop the indirect discrimination element of my case. They were unsuccessful but this extra step added to my costs. Help me by contributing or sharing thank you. https://t.co/6tWcRAFZK5

The Police Service of Northern Ireland has investigated around 4000 deaths and 20,000 rape offences since its formation in 2001 but withdrawing uniformed officers from pride has been the ‘hardest and most difficult thing’ of Deputy Chief Constable Bobby Singleton’s 25 yr career🌈

Happy to confirm:

The merry-go-round of influence mapped by @ForWomenScot almost wholly-funded lobby groups help push Government agenda.

I hadn’t realised that Northern Ireland had so completely solved murder, extreme violence, rape, child abuse, organised crime etc, that observing neutrality on controversial topics with the hardest thing a policeman might have to do in 25 years. They should talk more about that!

Where are you @UN_Women @UN?????!!!!!!!!

This man is a bully who is proclaiming his unwillingness to respect women's privacy. I wrote about men like this in "Protect the Dolls" (link in next post).

[Kirsteen Sullivan MP @kittysull1]

Nicola’s mum is my constituent. She has worked tirelessly to ensure other women don’t go through what Nicola endured AND volunteers selflessly to support the mental health of women. A remarkable woman.

Thanks to Jenny for calling out the situation with regards to Engender and Equality Network which, as she says,
lack transparency, are funded almost entirely by the Scottish government, don't support the Supreme Court judgment & aren't FoIable.

.@LucyHunterB produced a useful illustration of the applauding MSPs and the TRAs in the gallery.

Let's also remember @agcolehamilton
'“In the really dark times,” he said, pointing to a large figure, “We’d look up and see Beth and people beside her – and it was for Beth and for you guys that we were doing it.” You guys, indeed.'

I wrote about Amnesty's 'anti-rights' report and why it had to be based on smears and fabrication - that's just how the entire sex denialis argument works https://t.co/E5UB9Z1F4i

'Shame on the MSPs who embraced trans activists and their vile abuse of women'

"The public will be horrified by the waste of money spent to defend the ludicrous idea men – including some of the most dangerous men in Scotland – can transform into women and access women’s spaces."
