    Appalling: @ObserverUK finds 1 in 3 pregnant women in prison are being held pre-trial. The practice of remanding pregnant women should be abolished, especially given the NHS acknowledges all pregnancies in prison are high-risk. @hansummers @nic__murray

    Remember: IWD was founded in 1911 as International Working Women’s Day – a socialist, anti-racist celebration in honour of migrant women’s unionised struggles to escape terrible working conditions in garment factories. 100 years on, it's morphed into something very different.🧵

    Sexual predators are surrounded by social scaffolding. Men: where on the spectrum are you? And are you willing to intervene? Studies show a consistent predictor of men’s abuse is their perception of peer support. Intervention is prevention, silence is complicity 🎨 Sarah Navin

    ☄️ We flew a plane over the Man United football ground and our message is simple: Believe Kathryn Mayorga. Let’s say NO to the culture of silence around abuse from the football community. Pledge your solidarity with Kathryn & survivors: tinyurl.com/yhub79bt

    Thank you to all of the domestic violence experts, victims' families, criminologists and brilliant journalists who contributed to these guidelines. Hopefully this is the end of: 🚫 'Jilted lover' 🚫 'Crime of passion' 🚫 "...kills woman after she ...."

    Admirer? Boyfriend?! 18yr old Martyna had known this man for only a few days before he violently & sexually assaulted her — and she defended herself. As she applies for permission to appeal her conviction, headlines that romanticise a violent attacker are so damaging.

    We’re not waiting any more. We’ve petitioned. We’ve written open letters. We’ve done meetings. We’ll be more direct. It’s long overdue that Premier League clubs confront a culture of impunity, complicity and silence around rape in football. Credit:@JonDBarker

    🎉HUGE NEWS! Pregnancy is now a mitigating factor in sentencing! Courts must consider a woman’s health & that all pregnancies in prison are high-risk. A huge milestone in the campaign to end imprisonment of pregnant women!! 🎉

    In the wake of the triple murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt - and the terrible reporting that has ensued - @IPPR and @WileyGlobal have made our article on media reporting of domestic abuse killings open-access for one month. Please read and share: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
