Through Baroness Newlove's compassion and determination, she transformed and saved the lives of countless victims and survivors of domestic abuse. What a lot she achieved for so many victims - a legacy that will live on.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, & all who knew her.

Andrea Simon spoke about how women and girls are being failed and that we need much more beyond the Online Safety Act, such as a Commissioner for online harm.

Minister @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social talked about the need for big tech to take responsibility and fund the solutions, not the harm. (6/6)
