Your solidarity makes a difference to survivors, more than you know. And remember, if you give before 15 October, every penny you donate will be doubled – meaning your impact will go twice as far. Take your solidarity further: https://t.co/KT9KWwyZAT

Survivors are being asked to recount unrelated reports of previous abuse in front of a jury, which can then be wrongly used to undermine their case – with devastating effects. We're campaigning to change this. Join us. Write to your MP now. https://t.co/6HD2SaApSA

@Scot_Feminists @agcolehamilton Despite being outnumbered 14 to 1 by men, women make up 21% of deaths in homeless hotels/bnbs. Sexual predation and exploitation is commonplace. We need to get women and children out of hotels and into safe accommodation! ✊💜

@SukwantDhaliwal The responses from the floor are passionate and remind me of a concept I heard a few weeks ago in South Africa 'a negligence of policy'. It was intended to alert us that some absences are deliberate and chosen- the neglect can be intentional
