This 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.

A 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.

I 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.

Grrr.
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.

They were called:

The Islamophobia from the far right is at an all-time high, using the attack by an ‘ex-Muslim’ in Germany to fuel their agenda. He’s not even Muslim, and it just shows how stupid and hypocritical you are!

It 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.

I’ve had the loveliest weekend with the privilege of hosting in rainy Holmfirth friends I met around a decade ago on the other platform.
We were reminiscing about what a different place it was back in those days.
I’m so grateful for those connections which became true friendships.
