Online misogyny isn’t banter and it isn’t free speech - it’s abuse.
The exploitation of women and girls online is not inevitable, it’s the result of choices and systems that can be changed.

This week I met with PCOS Charity Verity and Baroness Merron, Minister for Women’s Health.
We discussed the PCOS APPG’s recommendations on diagnosis and care pathways. The Minister acknowledged the long-standing underfunding and neglect of PCOS.

Yesterday I attended the The Royal College of Midwives Parliamentary event.
It was good to meet midwives from across the country to hear their thoughts on what’s needed to ensure safe, high-quality maternity care for families 👶

Today in the House of Commons I raised the growing impact of retail crime.
Too many repeat offenders are being arrested and released straight back to the same areas, the same shops, and the same victims.
