"It showed me that I mattered" Strangers came forward to help @AnnieAGibbs when she was being abused. We all have the power to be an active bystander and save lives. It matters. Annie - in her words⤵️

I can’t express how much it means to finally build meaningful connections with fellow Malians in the UK — who share the same passion for contributing to positive change back home. I truly felt seen, supported, and inspired 💛

It was the greatest honour to connect with my motherland here in the UK for the very first time in person. I had the privilege of attending the visit of the Ambassador of Mali 🇲🇱 and meeting the newly appointed Honorary Consulate for the UK. One people, one goal, one faith ✊🏾

Marking ten years of coercive control legislation this week. Growing up, I had no language for the abuse in my home. This law gave me the words to finally speak out and free my mum, but our systems still need to learn how to see what so many children live through.

Welcoming the honesty in recognising this gap, and the commitment to a whole-system, borough-wide response. Encouraged by their support for creating more loving, accessible community spaces in solidarity ✊🏾🪷 @thejavancokerf1

I submitted 2 questions to @racheltaggart5 @Royal_Greenwich regarding my growing concerns about the current responses to harmful practices in our borough & the lack of commissioning for grassroots organisations that consistently go above & beyond in addressing these harms

❗Stalking & harassment make up 85% of all online & tech-enabled offences in #VAWG policing data. For migrant & refugee women, the prevalence may be higher. Fear of reporting & limited culturally appropriate support mean many cases go unrecorded. #NoExcuse

When you start asking questions they try to silence you. Being a survivor I know the battle we face is not mine alone! May Allah protect us all as we try to make a difference in a society that aims to destroy you for speaking your truth 💔

As a lived-experience expert @safelives_ @amourdestine I called on all Member States to remove barriers stopping migrant survivors from accessing healthcare. When we remove these barriers, we don’t just improve services; we create life-saving opportunities to save lives.
