Join us to remember all women who have been killed while being outside. It’s 4 years since Sarah Everard was murdered & women are still scared of going out in the dark.

Join us for a slow 5km where we will discuss what men can do to help women feel safer.

Well this sucks. Museum caves in in response to a hostile article in the local press written by a former Restore Trust director.

If you’re gonna have these initiatives at your museum, you need to have some backbone too.

I’ll tell this to any and every museum that ever asks how to roll out DEI initiatives. If you want to do that- if you really want to- then you need to STAND WITH YOUR STAFF when the trolls descend. Because they will. Every time. The institution needs to stand strong.
