Social media is being used as a weapon to endanger women and girls, and platforms cannot be left to mark their own homework; we need strong state regulations to protect everyone from online harm, especially women, children, and young people. www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Our CEO Farah Nazeer highlights how support for children & young people has been affected by chronic underfunding of the violence against women & girls services at the CommonsPAC session on tackling VAWG. Domestic abuse services are essential to recognising children as survivors in their own right.

Women’s Aid are pleased to support @joshbabarinde.bsky.social’s Bill to introduce domestic abuse aggravated offences, so that the experiences of survivors are properly honoured in the criminal justice proceedings.
