Today as we enter #IWD week we've organised for families of women killed by domestic abuse to come to parliament. Spent weekend with Mina Smallman and on Thursday I'll once again read out names of women killed in last year. All my work relies on @CountDeadWomen @K_IngalaSmith
On this International Women’s Day our thoughts are with the brave women of Ukraine. And these brave women of Russia who stand up to Putin and condemn his war. Fearless women make the world go round.

They are fighting, suffering, fearing…

This #IWD I am inspired by intensive care doctor @silv24 who - before lockdown had even begun (see below - & for two long years after, has risked her life to save patients with Covid.
She'd never blow her own trumpet, but she's NHS courage personified 💙
This is my Aunt Maria. She has survived childbirth, lived through a world war, survived a politically imposed famine, celebrated liberation, freedom & democracy, and in 2022, she refuses to leave her Ukrainian birthplace and home. Celebrating her strength 2day, this #IWD.
2/2 Priti Patel has proposed up to a TEN YEAR prison sentence for UK protestors in her new Policing Bill ..... take as long as you need to think about that.
1/2 Horrible pictures coming from Russia of peaceful protestors against Putins Governments war in the Ukraine. Primary school children and grandmothers behind bars!
In Russia, you can go to prison for up to 7 years for protesting against the Gvmnt.
