Discussions about the rise of misogynistic influencers are everywhere but most conversations fall short on solutions.
This is why I was pleased to visit a youth centre in Wolverhampton doing vital work with young men to tackle this problem. More info in my story:

Please give Maya a follow and a repost, and a warm welcome to Bluesky.
📣 FIRST POST ALERT 📣: I pretty much gave up on Twitter a while ago - tweeting less and less in recent years - but once it was a place which brought me joy (& some anguish). It was a place I could share articles I wrote, as well as my own observations about life: some tweets funnier than others.

Our government should have acted long ago to prevent this genocide by sanctioning Israel, ending arms sales, and upholding international law.
The longer we fail to act, the more our complicity grows.
