I am deeply concerned that we are at risk of losing our beloved cafes on Hampstead Heath. These independent businesses are cornerstones of our community and part of the unique charm of the area we call home. Last week, I stood alongside campaigners at the Lido and Parliament

@TerryReintke #BREAKING: Latvia's parliament has just voted to leave the Istanbul Convention, the landmark treaty protecting women & girls from violence @amnesty call on the President to reverse this appalling and dangerous decision #IstanbulConvention #Latvia

A centre-left party looks likely to emerge as the biggest winner in the Dutch national elections The D66 party, led by @RobJetten performed well at the expense of Geert Wilders' anti-Islam populists & the openly gay 38-year-old is poised to become PM

Many people are labouring under a dangerous misapprehension that access to abortion in Europe - with a few extreme exceptions - is widespread & easy, but the reality is starkly different Journalists, for embargoed copy of @amnesty's latest report contact me or press@amnesty.org

“Autocrats are afraid of free & independent women. They’re afraid of societies where women can freely decide over their bodies & lives...That's why they hate the #IstanbulConvention” @TerryReintke Protests in Latvia last night against proposed withdrawal

“Taking this final step towards amending Frances outdated law & recognizing that non-consensual sex is rape, will help to prevent & combat sexual violence & improve access to justice for victims of sexual violence" @amnestyfrance

Thousands of people in the streets of Riga protesting against Latvia's plan to withdraw from the #IstanbulConvention “Withdrawal from the Istanbul convention would mean a departure from the principles of democracy and human rights," Centrs Marta https://t.co/awBncBYV3D

“The adoption of this law is a historic step forward. It is a long-awaited victory for victims of rape & the culmination of years campaigning by activists & survivors of sexual violence" @amnesty reacts to vote by the French Senate introducing a consent-based definition of rape

Tmw Latvia’s parliament will vote on whether to leave the #IstanbulConvention, a landmark treaty protecting women & girls from violence Such a move would be catastrophic & would put the safety & lives Latvian of women and girls at risk MPs must reject it

Good news! For 5 years, KISA, a leading human rights NGO in Cyprus, was deregistered as a non-governmental organization - seriously hampering its ability to carry out its work. Today, the Cypriot supreme court ruled that this deregistration was unlawful

NEW: The cleavage shot no UK tabloid will print. If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on. A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed. 1/

Shocking! Latvia is preparing to vote on whether to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention, the landmark treaty on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence Withdrawal would put Latvian women & girls at greater risk of violence
