Despite promises of funding, schools are telling me they've never had it so bad.
One's asking parents to buy glue sticks. Another's charging pupils to join sports teams.
Children are our future. We cannot afford to let them down. #politicslondon

Iāll say it again:
Violence against Women is not an issue of womenās safety, itās an issue of male violence
Handing out alarms & increasing street lighting merely shines a brighter light on the inadequacy of the stateās response

WE know childcare is unaffordable as women can spend more than 1/2 their income on 1 child under 2 @WomensBudgetGrp. Itās time childcare was viewed as part of our national infrastructure, not a patchwork quilt stitched by each parent. @vickyford WE need an independent review
UK childcare costs are the third most expensive worldwide, with only 16% of the women saying it had not affected their job prospects according to a new poll. @Joeli_Brearley of @pregnantscrewed wants the government to invest more into the sector bbc.in/3EfJ1ls

At 6pm on Thursday 2nd September the Richmond Branch of the Women's Equality Party will be holding a vigil on Twickenham Green.
This will be to remember all of the women in the UK who have been killed by a man or where a man is the primary suspect.

People are being asked to have their say on the proposal to extend a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) around the British Pregnancy Advisory Service Clinic in Rosslyn Road in #Twickenham.

āGlad youāre home safeā ālet me know when youāre both home safeā āyes, Iām home, all safeā. Itās such second nature to make sure my girlfriends all got home OK (and to tell them I am)........#EnoughIsEnough

Having to block a man's number after a bad date. And all his social media. Just for some peace. #EnoughIsEnough @WEP_UK

When I was 12 a grown man followed me from school, chatted, said he wanted to hang out, followed me into my block of flats and kept asking which floor I lived on. He kissed me. He was calm, quiet and smiley. Fear and shame that I ālet himā followed me for years. #EnoughIsEnough

#EnoughIsEnough @WEP_UK I shouldn't have to keep my house keys between my knuckles, I shouldn't have to walk an extra half mile because it means I can stay on the main road, under lights, I shouldn't have to worry about working late. I should be able to enjoy my life

Staying up half the night because your friend hasn't messaged that she got home safely. She probably just forgot this one time, but maybe not. Trying not to be angry when she replies in the morning, because no one should have to check in like this. #EnoughIsEnough @WEP_UK

For those who, for whatever reason, aren't able to attend one of the in-person #ReclaimTheStreets vigils... a #VirtualVigil will take place at the same time.
Spread the word.

I had my second daughter in December 2020 and my eldest daughter is 12 years old. Make the streets a safer place for them

Conversations with my husband about how he will always pick our daughters up on from night out rather than "risk it" #EnoughIsEnough

I've done the keys between the fingers. I've promised to text when I get home. I've texted a screenshot of my Uber driver's details. I've described a man in the street on the phone. #EnoughIsEnough @WEP_UK

Moving to a new flat so he doesn't know where I live anymore.

If youāre tempted to write #notallmen, letās hear all the wonderful work you do. The campaigns you started, the talks you do in schools, the weekly meet ups to discuss male violence. Because right now it sounds like you want a prize for never raping someone in a park

Iām 34, I live alone, I text my dad before I go for a run so that he can track me with the iPhone āshare locationā function. Waiting for him to confirm heās seen my text before leaving for the run, then texting to check I got home safe. #enoughisenough ā¦@WEP_UKā©

While I have you, we are about to if we haven't enter the ridiculous phase where the debate will become about how "no one can say a nice hello to everyone" and men v women. Don't bother with it, focus on the issue.
Caroline Rayfield retweeted
Right now. Your testimony delivered straight to the House of Commons.
Because #EnoughIsEnough and politicians must make addressing violence against women and girls a top priority.
No more platitudes.
