This is one of the most moving, inspiring, and uplifting episodes of #DesertIslandDisks ever. Thank you @nazirafzal for setting the standard of what it means to be a genuine male ally to women and girls in world disfigured by patriarchy and misogyny!

I feel numb at the news that Wayne Couzens has been given a whole life order - the first police officer to receive this sentence. It won’t bring #SarahEverard back - nor will it turn the tide on male violence. To honour Sarah and all women lost - we have to change society.

Yes, Cressida Dick should be held accountable for today. I don't disagree. But, let's be real: getting rid of her is superficial, it will do nothing to address institutional misogyny in the @metpoliceuk or make London materially safer for women and girls. #EnoughIsEnough

For those who, for whatever reason, aren't able to attend one of the in-person #ReclaimTheStreets vigils... a #VirtualVigil will take place at the same time. Spread the word. #SarahEverard #EnoughIsEnough #Solidarity RSVP:

It's hard to know where to start with this... I feel sickened and betrayed by the Met Police who have, so far, refused to investigate - compare that with the approach they took in the lead up to and during the vigil for Sarah Everard. #EnoughIsEnough 1/2

The #SarahEverard case must be handled by a neighbouring police force now that a @MetPoliceUK officer has been charged. There is significant evidence that police forces cannot be trusted to investigate their own when it comes to violence against women. @SadiqKhan pls take action.

@seyiakiwowo I’m disappointed by what these figures suggest about white women... but given everything that’s happened this year, I’m absolutely astonished by the suggestion that 18% (nearly a fifth) of black men voted for Trump. I definitely didn’t see that coming.

An appallingly insensitive and complacent comment to make in the week that Wayne Cousins pleaded guilty to the abduction and rape of Sarah Everard AND the murder trial for Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman began.

Not gonna lie. I did not see this coming. Surely there's more to this than meets the eye, but my first reaction is that I'm sad to see her go - for the last few years she's stood apart as the grown-up in the room through incredible political turbulence.

My heart aches for #BriannaGhey ’s family and loved ones. The pain and grief of losing a young woman in such tragic circumstances is difficult to process. We owe it to Brianna and her whole generation to keep striving for a world where violence is vanquished and love prevails.

Sexual harassment is so normalised, most girls experience it for the first time in childhood / adolescence. It’s poison. It degrades, diminishes, dehumanises, and stifles us. It’s not inevitable though - the power to eradicate it lies with men.

Today is #IDEVAW - International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and #WhiteRibbonDay2021 . I want to pay tribute to the survivors and campaigners who work tirelessly to end this violence and support those affected by it.

This is very worrying indeed. The Govt is leaving it up to employer’s discretion whether employees will be expected to work or not if they have unmet childcare needs. It should be ILLEGAL for any employer to penalise an employee who can’t work for this reason. 1/3

Hi Kemi, how about you start by telling the truth about how institutional racism and misogyny infect and corrupt policing, politics, business, education, and most of the systems and structures upon which our society is built?

Make no mistake London this is a direct attack on women and minorities. On the 6th of May, vote for equality.

Tonight belongs to @staceyabrams - leader of the resistance against right wing populism in the USA. I’ve admired and been inspired by her a for couple of years now. Her phenomenal organising played a huge part in clinching a double Senate victory for the Democrats in #Georgia 🍑
