Thank you @Womans_Place_UK for facilitating a much needed discussion on men's violence against women & girls. Inspired by @K_IngalaSmith @polblonde & @afsanalachaux. Thank you for showing us what courage looks like. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...

RT @Womans_Place_UK: We have to carry on. We have to use whatever space we have to continue raising our issues & seeking accountability. There is a growing consensus that MVAWG is not acceptable - we are facing a backlash. In a paradoxical way, ...
RT @EavesCharity: Room for hope: pragna @SBSisters highlights womens movements and campaigns in teeth of attack on our rights is our hope and highlights need for solidarity and with it we can make change.
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Pragna: We have to be optimistic. The fact that there are women in their thousands in Poland against rollback of reproductive rights. Around the world - India, Argentina... this tells us there is power in women coming together. ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: How do we break through silence as MVAWG as a political issue. How do we make it something that MPs and candidates are forced to talk about. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Joan: MVAWG is not political issue in conventional sense. In canvassing for Labour, nobody has ever raised MVAWG on doorstep. Why is that? Somehow criminal justice system, MVAWG is not complained about. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @janeayres: Please, please donate. Awful decision to award > £90,000 costs against Afsana, in a UK (!) court - unprecedented, and will bankrupt her https://t.co/c5Abkd... #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Karen asks is there any cause for optimism?
RT @GitaSahgal: @afsanalachaux must support the women’s organisations doing the heavy lifting #WPUKagainstMVAWG
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Afsana: this is about accountability - we have to hold the state institutions to account. When she looks at numbers of women affected by violence, coercive control - never taken into account. We must strengthen civil society. ...
RT @EavesCharity: Pragna accurately alerting also yo narrowed spaces: state uses vawg in minority communities to grow immigration control and racism at same time fundamentalist attitudes in home and family can increase violence to women ...
RT @GitaSahgal: Even those doing counter terrorism work are not really looking at fundamentalism. But need to look ,carefully at links between misogyny, VAWG, fundamentalism. Some issues like honor violence and FGM can be co-opted. #WPUKagainstMVAWG
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Issues of FGM, forced marriage are used to justify anti-immigration agenda, surveillance agenda takes over. And migrant women bear the biggest burden of this. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @feministdissent: Fundamentalism, terrorism, counterterrorism, extremism and state responses discussed in Feminist Dissent 4 special issue on Prevent. Published too early to include a review of @polblonde book but dealing with some of same themes ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: One has to be very careful about the way in which the state co-opts violence against women into the securitisation agenda. We have to do this work without being co-opted by the state. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: But wants also to resist too direct a connection between domestic terrorism and political terrorism. There's an ideological thread - the need to address fundamentalist ideology behind terrorism has not been tackled. ...
RT @dianjo: #WPUKagainstMVAWG Really heartbreaking and enraging to hear Afansa's story of such massive injustice. Please support her crowdfunder https://t.co/jjumU1... @alfansalachaux @SBSisters @K_IngalaSmith @polblonde ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: gives example of work of SBS with women on fringes of extremist activity or children getting caught up in extremist activity, and in working with them find backgrounds of domestic abuse. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @pols8: @Womans_Place_UK Pragna- the impact of patriarchy does not fall equally and needs Intersection lens Contexts need deconstruction #WPUKagainstMVAWG
RT @GitaSahgal: #WPUKagainstMVAWG https://t.co/z5rViE...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Pragna: There is a danger in saying 'it's all patriarchal'. It is, but it needs to be unpicked and given intersectional lens. There is disproportionate impact on some women. Without that, we don't address context. ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Joan: when she wrote misogynies she was optimistic. Feels that things are in fact getting worse. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @EavesCharity: Exactly @polblonde describes with abedi what @GitaSahgal addressed re begg and lost job for- we can highlight injustices to individuals but we cannot ignore pattern of misogynistic attitudes and behaviours of same individuals. ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: Karen now bringing together the themes of misogyny in law, education, media - that it is all patriarchy - how do we talk about complicity in male violence. #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @GitaSahgal: Police failed on numerous occasions to see warning signs, on Manchester bomber and other cases.@polblonde .#WPUKagainstMVAWG
RT @womenopausal1: #WPUKagainstMVAWG @polblonde on horrific mismanagement of the Manchester Arena bombing perp - really scary trail of acts of radicalisation and misogynistic violence that was never recorded so he was never monitored.
RT @Womans_Place_UK: At the heart of it for Joan is misogyny - why we don't see misogyny as a warning sign? #WPUKagainstMVAWG ...
RT @Womans_Place_UK: They still don't see it as male violence. Separation of 'political' violence and MVAWG. The Manchester bomber Salman Abedi had history of violence - punched Muslim girl wearing short skirt, age 17. Dealt with by restorative ...

RT @GitaSahgal: Looked at 50 cases of terror, found that they had avusive relationships. many acted after relationships had broken down. police don’t connect male violence in the family with terrrorism, including major terrorism centre. ...
RT @afsanalachaux: @Womans_Place_UK @polblonde @SBSisters @K_IngalaSmith Looking forward to discussing my case and the judicial system https://t.co/JFM0qr...
