It's been 30 years since the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action to achieve gender equality and secure the rights of women & girls. ♀️

Despite some progress over the last 3 decades, we are still decades away from achieving gender equality. ⚖️

Brilliant question from a survivor at the @safelives #AuthenticVoicePanel to the audience about embedding their lived experience in organisations, "We can't audit you! Are you actually using the tools we're giving you?!" (1/2)

Thrilled to be at the @safelives #AuthenticVoice conference today. This event, created & organised by the women of the Authentic Panel is all about embedding lived experience in #Scotland. Looking forward to hearing & learning from these incredible women.

#Survivors #LivedExperience #16Days

We're at Scottish Parliament this week for #16Days to raise awareness of our work on #ChildContact & #EconomicAbuse. We're speaking to #MSPs about our online #vigil #ForThemAll on Friday & asking for their support in honouring the women & children who've lost their lives due to #DomesticAbuse.

I will be joining the upcoming #ForThemAll online vigil with #ScottishWomensAid in memory of all the women & children who have died because of domestic abuse. See details below for how you can also participate in this night of remembrance and reflection during #16Days.

#PhD #UniversityofGlasgow #EconomicAbuse #ItsOver #Graduation #AtLast

Today is the 1st day of #16Days & the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. At #ScottishWomensAid we're launching our #ChildContact campaign #StillNotSafe to raise awareness of the damaging child contact decisions that leave women and children unsafe and re-traumatised.

Through my #PhDResearch on women's experiences of #economicabuse in #Scotland, the research participants & I co-developed the post-separation economic abuse wheel. The wheel captures the women's experiences of economic abuse after separating. It's available for download here: shorturl.at/5dtMP
