Put it in your diaries now!
Thank you for joining us!

Yep, @NottsRtN are the organisers.
We are female not "female"
LWSMidlands retweeted
get yourself a quote from @ForWomenScot about the right of women to hold female only events!
No air quotes around female.

We were not a "female-only" march, we were a female-only march. We were from 18 to 83 in age; straight, bisexual & lesbian; from across the political spectrum; first-time marchers & veterans; survivors of sexual assault & domestic abuse.
What we had in common: we were all women.
We've asked police for a response on this but they've not got back to us yet. Did anyone take part in either of these events? nottinghampost.com/news/nott…

We don't ask permission from men like Dylan to be on the streets. We don't live in #Afghanistan where men like Dylan want to control women. Do you need a leaflet on consent? Maybe your pal @NadiaWhittomeMP can arrange that? This #MVAWG is unacceptable.

#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026
The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment
But we stayed strong and finished our march
Power to the women ♀️💜💚🤍

No woman was asked her political beliefs to join #ReclaimTheNightNottingham the only shared characteristic required was she be born female.
No woman deserves to be violently attacked, harassed and intimidated on our streets.

We also retain the right to say 'no' to men claiming to be women from coming into our spaces.

To the women who came before us, who built the women's refuges and women's centres from dirt that we take for granted today we salute you.
Thank you XX
And to the women destroying them today by letting men in #ShameOnYou

#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Made in Nottingham.
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Nottingham 7/11/26 women made history.
The first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the city for over a decade.
We are local women & this was our grassroots effort.
These are our voices.

Off the scale misogyny 👇
Not the first time you forgot about Nottingham women and our consent.

Women have a march to highlight how women feel unsafe on the streets at night and guess which men show up to make it crystal clear that women are unsafe on the streets at night.

That's a lot of words for ⬇️ to say he hates women.

Lesbians support and welcome their trans sisters in huge numbers, far outnumbering the tiny TERF cult.
Allies and trans people alike don't have any patience for bigots.

Women Assemble!
LWS members joined Nottingham's first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in over a decade.
Sadly, a large group of misogynists turned out to remind us exactly why women still need to reclaim the night.
We needed a police escort to keep us safe. Let that sink in.
Are you thrilled with the display of violence from men towards women who want to see an end to MVAWAG, Nads, in your own constituency?

I'm thrilled that streets around Hockley are becoming Nottingham's new 'Rainbow Quarter'.
The idea is to create a dedicated safe space for our LGBTQ+ community, support businesses and honour the queer history that has shaped our city.

Nadia has helped make an area of her constituency a hostile place where lesbians can expect to face threats of violence and intimidation if they don't include MEN.

I recently visited Nottingham’s newly opened Rainbow Quarter with Nottingham Pastel Project, who led the effort to create this dedicated space celebrating our city’s LGBTQ+ community and history.
It comes after the launch of their successful Your Spaces Too, empowering local venues to declare themselves as safe and welcoming trans-inclusive spaces.
I feel extremely proud of our city and this powerful statement of who we are and what we stand for. Thank you to the grassroots organisers who led the way.
