Make it make sense.

Young people need high-quality and comprehensive Relationship Sex Education (RSE) to 18, as a step in tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls.

I made my younger brother, who had a paper round so was rich, buy punk CDs so I could ‘borrow’ them. Those CDs are still in my possession today.

In 2022 WE put up fake police incident boards highlighting institutional misogyny and racism in the Met police. Tonight’s BBC Panorama hows how bad it is. To quote one of our boards, the police cannot stop violence and discrimination if they do not recognise it in their own ranks.

Scottish schools have been told they must provide separate toilets for boys and girls on the basis of biological sex.

School had previously been told that pupils could use whatever toilet they felt most comfortable in.

We hated Keir Starmer's proposed mandatory digital ID cards already. But for trans and non-binary people this could mark a dangerous escalation in the erosion of their human rights to privacy and be used to stop them using toilets.

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isn’t.

There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.

BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.

We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.

Reform UK is supported by very well funded right wing extremist groups and they are coming for your rights.

Thank you to @theguardian.com for covering our report into what’s taught in History lessons at Key Stage 3. Spoiler: mostly men. It’s time to end sexism in schools.

School history lessons minimise the role of women, report finds

Campaigners say key stage 3 curriculum plays to misogny and teaches a ‘false version of the past’

‘Recognition’ of Palestine is simply colonial theatre. Palestine is a nation long occupied not ‘invented’ by imperial signatures. Anti-colonial solidarity means standing with a people whose sovereignty lives beyond Western permission. #FreePalestine #Decolonise

Is that the wonderful @katemossewriter.bsky.social writing in The Observer talking about End Sexism in School's new report into the History curriculum? 👀

New report out Wednesday - watch this space.

Women are still largely missing from the history we teach in classrooms. If we want a fairer future, we must stop erasing half the past

In the aftermath of the earthward in Afghanistan injured women and girls are facing a dire lack of medical care.

Taliban restrictions mean they cannot travel to hospital, receive treatment from male doctors, or in some cases even accept help from strangers.
