Rape takes many forms. Consent is not consent if not freely given because of age, coercion, or deceit. Lying to gain sexual access isn’t a “relationship”. It’s grooming. It’s abuse. #ConsentMatters #CoerciveControl #RapeByDeceit ⁦@NatalieFleetMP⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thank you to everyone who has fought alongside us. This is a landmark moment for women’s rights in this country, and we should all feel incredibly proud.

Claiming a brain-dead woman "gave birth" is straight up propaganda. They cut her open and ripped the baby out of her. Be for real. Fucking ghouls.

Decriminalizing abortion is one of the most grown up, progressive decisions the UK has made in years. It trusts people to act with conscience, and pardons those who find themselves in atrocious circumstances.

The backlash to NC1 has been loud - and dangerously misinformed. It doesn’t change the 24-week limit. Abortions after that point remain illegal unless strict medical grounds are met, as set out in the 1967 Abortion Act. That law still stands. What NC1 does is decriminalise…

Please note. Abortion has not been “legalised” up to birth in the UK - it’s been decriminalised. This is an important distinction, especially when so many are deliberately blurring the lines for outrage clicks. Here’s what actually happened: What MPs voted for today was to…

No one should ever face prosecution for ending their own pregnancy, but that is exactly what is happening in this country. I'm therefore pleased that an amendment to stop this has passed in Parliament. This is a vital step forward for women’s rights and reproductive justice.

This is brilliant news - No women should be investigated by or criminalised because of the desperate circumstance they may find themselves in which end with a late termination of pregnancy theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

No woman facing one of the hardest moments of her life should face a criminal investigation. Today we have the opportunity to change that. I urge colleagues to support New Clause 1 and stand up for compassion and justice.

Last night marked a historic milestone for women’s rights: Parliament has voted to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. For the first time in over a century, those making deeply personal healthcare decisions no longer face the threat of prosecution. This moment is the…

As a barrister, academic, and advocate, I’ve stood alongside women who’ve faced prosecution for abortion—often in the most heartbreaking circumstances—and I've represented those who have suffered under reproductive coercion and control. These are not isolated cases; they are a…

Today, MPs will vote to move forward one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting women’s bodily autonomy in over a century—the decriminalisation of abortion. This vote isn’t just about healthcare. It’s about justice, dignity, and ending the systemic punishment of…

A father allegedly murders his three daughters—whose wrists had been bound with zip ties and each had been suffocated with a plastic bag and the Daily Mail blames the mother. She requested the family courts to protect her children. They didn’t. Stop blaming mothers for the…

To every survivor: You are not dramatic. You are not hysterical. You are not weak. You are surviving the unimaginable, sometimes in silence. You deserve to be heard, believed, and protected. #SurvivorVoices #EndDomesticAbuse #FamilyLawyer

Many trauma survivors will do mental & emotional backflips to avoid accepting the truth that the people who should have loved us-- who often said they loved us-- did not behave toward us in any way that could be described as "loving." And that discrepancy wasn't about us.

Women are banned from nursing and midwifery courses in Afghanistan. So who will help with childbirth? Men? No, definitely not them. Then what, will women just die? Yep, that's cool. Women have no education, no jobs, no businesses. Women are in extreme despair.😡

Abusers are masters at twisting reality to suit their narrative, making you feel like you're the problem while they play the victim. Don’t be fooled by their manipulations—you deserve the truth, not their hypocrisy. #CoerciveControl #emotionalabuse

MPs will soon vote on decriminalising abortion in England and Wales. No woman should face prosecution for exercising control over her own body. These laws are patriarchal and outdated, created when women couldn’t even vote. I do not consent to them. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Abuse hides in plain sight. It’s not always shouting, it can be silence too It’s not always bruises, it’s fear and intimidation It’s not always fists, it’s finance, threats, and relentless control. We must stop asking, “Why didn’t she leave?” And start asking, “Why didn’t he…

1/ I represented the mother in this harrowing case where the court made orders revoking the father’s parental responsibility, refusing his application for contact or a live with order, and imposing a full minority s91(14) & Non-Molestation Order. 🧵
