These are appalling stats that demonstrate how current UK policy is failing women and families. #womenshealth #policy #inequality thenewfeminist.co.uk/2025/07/uk-d...

She Didn't "Pick Wrong". Society Failed By Creating Millions of Abusive Men.
The scale of the risk means we need to stop blaming women for "ignoring red flags" when men turn out to be controlling and abusive partners

GBV / VAWG in all its forms is an epidemic globally. Nothing changes because the patriarchy actively resists; it is not getting better. I’m so tired of this shit. I do no feel like celebrating IWD today as a result. This sums it up for me ⬇️ @thenewfeminist.bsky.social

This is a long but important read about the evisceration of collective memory in US education: Erasing History, Erasing Democracy: Trump’s Authoritarian Assault on Education truthout.org/articles/era...

Erasing History, Erasing Democracy: Trump’s Authoritarian Assault on Education
Trump appears bent on ridding schools of dangerous practices like critical thinking and an unsanitized study of history.

Marco Rubio's anti-DEI memo is aligned: note that it's hostile to "the national plan to end gender-based violence."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent this internal memo to diplomats about Trump’s executive orders seeking to end DEI [lists a bunch of terms and actual executive orders they're against]

“Trans-hostile actors generally view the concept of ‘gender’ as dangerous because it challenges traditional social structures, consequently promoting the binary, male-headed nuclear family as the only valid or moral way to live”. This is an important document to help counter trans hostility 👇

It was a joy to lead this ‘in conversation’ piece with @mollyhankinson.bsky.social for @nsead.bsky.social AD Magazine. Molly’s work against gender based violence is fantastic. #vawg #endgbv #nsead #murals #arteducation

How else to address GBV? To disrupt cultures of victim blaming in our institutions by developing a deeper understanding of who a survivor / victim can be. The Pelicot rape case revealed not a group of monsters but a culture that enables the abuse of women theconversation.com/the-pelicot-...

The Pelicot rape case revealed not a group of monsters but a culture that enables the abuse of women
To truly learn from this case, we must accept that the crimes of Dominique Pelicot were not committed in a vacuum.

Wheatfield at the Height of Summer is an absolutely beaut. It sold a year ago but I still think about it. The relationship between the orange, yellows and blues make it feel like the scorching hot day it is based on. #westoxarts #cotswolds #cotswoldsartist #mixedmedia #landscape #landscapepaint
