I feel quite emotional reading this.
It came years too late but I pay my respects to RCEW CEO Ciara Bergman and the Board of Trustees who I know will have pored over this. Thank you.
Women victim-survivors of sexual & domestic violence & abuse deserve women only spaces. Finally.
A clear statement from @RapeCrisisEandW
- Every adult and child who has experienced sexual violence deserves access to to support
- The Rape Crisis National Service Standards recognise the benefit of women only services and spaces
- RCEW Centres MUST provide women-only spaces and services
- This does not mean that they cannot *also* provide services (or referral) for male survivors including trans-identifying men.

The current equal pay system is too complex and hard to navigate.
We back govt plans to tackle pay discrimination but employers must respond to pay questionnaires and salary history questions should be banned in recruitment.

The #Spycops Inquiry has revealed many more police abuses than anticipated, but it is now under threat due to delays & spiralling costs caused by excessive police demands for secrecy. It is critical that the Inquiry continues & examines more recent abuses

"When women, lesbian women & some gay men started to realise what was at stake, anyone brave enough to speak up about women's & LGB rights was vilified, branded bigots, transphobes & TERFS. The most vocal in making these slurs were men, but sadly not exclusively so"
