Our CEO @FarahNazeer speaks in the Sun on the allegations made against comedian Russell Brand. “Across society it is unacceptable to know that today women are bound by fear, warning each other about men that could pose a danger to them.” thesun.co.uk/news/24011581/…
❓ Have you ever wondered why people witness abuse in public places and don’t respond to help? Want to know how to do this safely? ✋ Learn how how to be an active bystander with our new training. 🙌🏿 Because everyone has a role to play in ending abuse. womensaid.org.uk/new-bystander-…
We need deeds not words to stop the avoidable killings of women by men. It was an honour to read their names in front of bereaved families. Every year it is overwhelming.
Such comments made by Fiona Bruce minimise the seriousness of domestic abuse. It is rarely ever a 'one-off' and even if it is, it is still abuse

@thewomensquilt I finally made it to The Workhouse at Southall to see the quilt. It’s beautifully displayed, and I was able to find the squares I made and remember finding the women’s stories. 9 year old Granddaughter with me asked why they were killed. No answer, is there…?
Our thoughts are with Sarah Everard’s family & friends during this harrowing time. Women should be safe on the streets and in their homes. Support is available here: endviolenceagainstwomen.org.uk If you’re at home, scared of your partner, we’re here for you: womensaid.org.uk/information-su…
In the UK a woman is killed by a man every three days. If this was extremely rare, this Quilt would not be the size that it is and unfortunately, since it's creation, there have been more names

"We have to focus on what men are doing to perpetrate violence." Director of @EVAWuk @AndreaSimon48 says we need to educate younger children on healthy, respectful relationships #Newsnight
Since last year on this day, these are the women killed in the UK where a man has been convicted or charged as the primary perpetrator in the case.
of these lost women, 598 ('09-'15) are recorded in embroidered tribute squares of @thewomensquilt - which @nationaltrust now exhibits to explain the extent of these lost lives & the terrible impact of violence towards too many women who are the tragic victims of male violence.
