Reposted by @kareningalasmith.bsky.socialfemicidecensus.bsky.social @femicidecensus.bsky.social · 03/03/2025This week we will be releasing a new report: 2,000 Women. The report analyses the killings of 2,000 ‘solved cases’ of woman-killing where a man has been found guilty of murder or manslaughter; or where not possible, has been identified by a state body as responsible for the woman/women’s deaths. 0136
kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 01/02/2025I was happy to speak to @hannahalothman.bsky.social about women using social media to check out whether men they are seeing are known by other women to be abusive. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...theguardian.com‘Are we dating the same guy?’: Women turn to Facebook to uncover cheating and violenceExperts say use of groups to warn others about dangerous men is indictment on governments’ failure to keep women safe 0154
kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 01/02/2025A strong and sensitive piece by @shonaghdillon.bsky.social on what she has learned through chairing domestic homicide reviews, particularly moving on the lives, deaths and invisibly of older women. t.co/fKgKZhV5vFt.cohttps://shonaghdillon.substack.com/p/domestic-abuse-related-death-reviews?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1kbVXNEqdKKbWTAunuzbE12dzkKH_SzPWKZiRe1MUwKPUGAF2YcJh4I58_aem_lCQ7dN-7QFkLB5sE2yJPoQ 0101

kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I watched people sledging in the field across the valley from first light. Starting with 3 people, later 20 or so, now as the light fades, just a handful again. It felt timeless. I live in a house that’s about 250yrs old. Thinking of inhabitants watching sledging in that field over the centuries. 080
kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Good to hear Wes Streeting speaking in support of Jess Phillips and against Elon Musks disgusting and dangerous attack on her. 1184
kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Grrr. It’s really hard to break the twitter habit. I’d already cancelled my blue-tick subscription (was never convinced about taking it out) but Musk’s attacks on Jess Phillips were the last straw. The platform is clearly now being run to further right wing politics. I don’t want to enable that. 4141

kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 27/12/2024I’ve been fortunate to spend time with some of my closest friends and family in December. I’m feeling fortunate, contented and grateful. And slightly knackered after hosting a houseful yesterday. 091

He’s not even Muslim, and it just shows how stupid and hypocritical you are! 071

kareningalasmith.bsky.social @kareningalasmith.bsky.social · 28/11/2024It has been a pleasure and a privilege - as well as a huge source of support - to be part of Woman's Place UK. I valued immensely working with this group of principled women to safeguard women's sex-based rights and protections within a left context which took account of inequalities between women. 1346
