Thank you @UNSRVAW for this important call for evidence and thank you @hansummers for highlighting this. There is still time to respond before the deadline on 15.12.22 "UN to investigate use of ‘parental alienation’ tactic in custody cases"

Fears an increase in allegations, particularly against mothers, of deliberately alienating a child against the other parent in domestic abuse cases may put victims at further risk

Keir Starmer promised to make it a crime to 'misgender' - and yet very few politicians seem able to talk about what a woman is. I asked the minister to ensure that women's rights would not be sidelined by a focus on gender identity.

#WPUKWithWomen In 80s, women were talking about the process of 'gendering'. We were using sex/gender. 'Gender' as a term has been hijacked. We have to keep pulling our words back into what we want them to be. Patriarchy keeps popping up and we have to keep taking these words back
