It’d be great to see how you’ve protected women & girls since April. Oh, that’s right the Met police have gone to court to block the release of docs that could expose your failings. Confidence in policing among survivors of violence against women & girls is at an all-time low.
#MeToo: The evidence is that false allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence are *rare*. Summary of the research on the extent of false allegations (and the problems with the studies that show apparently high rates), here: xyonline.net/content/false-…
Anti-feminist backlash online against academic research: Attacks on feminist researchers and research spread misogynistic, white-supremacist, and heteronormative ideology in a vain attempt to silence feminist scholars tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
We are dismayed @Sistah_Space is facing safety concerns & racist abuse. Victim/survivors-including Black women-must be able to reach out for help & know it will be there for them. It's vital we & charity umbrella orgs stand together with Sistah Space & small specialist services
33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.
There is a Scottish academic who wrote about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how they lack a gendered and feminist analysis and my memory escapes me, does anyone know anyone or seen any writing on this? Please and thank you :)
Owami Davies has been missing for over a month, last seen in Croydon. We pray for her safe return. Media; why is there no coverage of her case? Institutional racism puts black women at higher risk of gendered violence, and the state doesn’t even pretend to care. #FindOwamiDavies
We spoke to Lucy from @NottsSVSS about the importance of confidentiality in counselling. Counsellors should not be put in a position where they have to hand over a survivor's notes: survivors have a right to privacy. We urge the CPS to #KeepCounsellingConfidential.
Only 1% of our survey respondents who had experienced unwanted behaviours on public transport indicated that the perpetrator had been convicted. It is crucial that police take reports of all unwanted behaviours seriously. #DrivingOutAggression suzylamplugh.org/Handlers/Downl…
The nurses and doctors busy trying to save your life are also trying to dodge graphic rape threats, avoid groping colleagues and ignore the unwanted masturbation in front of them. If you're surprised you haven't been following @ScrubSurvivors. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

In our latest blog, Scottish academics look at the new legislation on #DomesticAbuse and how it fits into the legal landscape, and consider the experience of victims. ➡️ bit.ly/3yVIDbp @UofGlasgow @UniStrathclyde Pictured: Dr Rachel McPherson (University of Glasgow)
'Children may have come to see the perpetrator/father as “the fun parent” because of his abusive tendency to win their affection by sometimes being permissive and lavishing them with treats.' Quote from my article on domestic abuse: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…
44% of white working-class students and 37% of black students enter uni with only BTEC qualifications. Cutting these will have a huge impact on social mobility and our economy. Email your MP now and ask them to attend the #ProtectStudentChoice parliamentary debate 18.07.22 4:30pm
