The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

As a mother, the fate of abducted Ukrainian children is profoundly close to my heart.
Every child taken by Russia must be reunited with their family.
They must be given back their childhood and the chance to dream of a brighter future.

Under the header of this specific e-petition,(if we get a debate, we can brief MPs to raise:

Misogyny in Music report: ‘Significant issues within the industry remain unaddressed’
A UK parliamentary committee has renewed its call for non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in cases involving sexual misconduct, bullying and discrimination in the music industry to be banned. The report, which was published this morning, is the second from the parliament's Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) and comes a year after the first as part of its Misogyny in Music inquiry.
