RT @polblonde: Sarah Everard’s disappearance & today’s developments are hugely upsetting. Her family & friends are going through hell. The fact that women are so vulnerable, doing ordinary things, is a scandal - & so is police telling ...
RT @KirstyStricklan: It would be good - just for once - if my feed was full of men expressing outrage over male violence and harassment and talking to each other about what they need to do. Rather than women sharing their traumatic experiences again, ...
RT @wordspinster: Some things don't change. 1967. I was 9 and walking home from school. A boy of 11 was in the alley I used as a shortcut. He backed me up against the wall and punched me twice, hard, in the face. I knew him from school, said who he ...
RT @ShelaghFogarty: Aged 10: man follows me home from school Aged 15: teenage boy exposes himself to me and a friend at bus stop Aged 17: A hospital doctor asks me to remove bra to listen to my chest (stethoscope on my back!) Aged 20 in Spain: friend ...
RT @ayeshahazarika: Always remember a male pal asking why I changed my shoes to get in a cab home late at night from doing tv work & had to explain in case something happens & I need to run. This is from past experience. He was really shocked ...
RT @Sarahpolitics: Part of teaching my children to be independent has involved taking a deep breath and allowing them to come alone from school from year 6. Since she was 11, my daughter has been happily taking herself to and from after school ...
RT @txtililibet: I honestly think we should be protesting this, it’s absolutely not fair that women are consistently the ones expected to modify their behaviour in response to violent attacks https://t.co/ZXWAYW...
Forty years ago, women said "curfew the men" "we are sick & tired of being told not to walk alone" Today's news on Sarah Everard is devastating: a police officer arrested for murder. And so many women on here sharing stories of violence & ...
RT @DrFrancesRyan: It’s not enough for good men to cross the street. Good men must understand “bad men” are not others but their mates, brother, the guy they laugh with in the gym. They have to interject when other “good men” objectify, belittle, ...
RT @jayrayner1: I've said it before but will again: if I find myself walking behind a single woman on a quiet street I always cross the road to the other side and ideally accelerate away as quickly as possible. I am a big man and absolutely aware ...
RT @AnnaYearley: For all those women who text their mates to let them know they got home safe,who wear flat shoes at night so they can run if they need,who have keys in their hands ready to use, it’s not your fault. It never is. So many of us have ...
RT @RachelSmethers: Such painful news about Sarah Everard. Violence against women is an emergency. Men - we need your support. We need it to be loud. Don’t be afraid, don’t think it’s a ‘women’s issue’. Don’t ask female friends to educate you - ...
RT @helennianias: We need a curfew on men https://t.co/FzgPpT...
RT @Finn_Mackay: Sometimes, in response to news coverage of male violence against women, women will think/say: what time was that, was it dark then, I'd not walk that way etc. Victim-blaming is indeed wrong, but this can also be understood as a form ...
RT @ManduReid: Devastated to see the latest developments in the #SarahEverard investigation. As data reported today shows: harassment is pretty much universal, but terrifyingly it is the thin end of the wedge... the threat of violence looms over all ...
RT @sianushka: I used to say this to people and was told I was hysterical and exaggerating but I don’t know ANY WOMAN who hasn’t been harassed! https://t.co/2gVsvV...
RT @WomensAidNI: “We are the only part of the UK that doesn't have this strategy” Our CEO, Sarah Mason, is asking you to join us in calling for Northern Ireland Assembly to develop and implement a Violence Against Women & Girls Strategy in NI. ...
The types of defence have changed, but men are still getting away with rape and murder under a misogynistic justice system https://t.co/eIpsL2...
RT @NimkoAli: The developments in the #SarahEverard investigation are terrifying. Women in London are terrified and after months of lockdown the psychological impact of this will be horrific. As I have said before we need to not only end #VAWG but ...
RT @HannahAlOthman: So good to see men talking about changing their behaviour to make women feel safe. My plea would be, if you're walking behind a woman, particularly at night, even at a distance, please cross over and walk on the other side of the ...
RT @nakedvix: Last night after dusk I went for a walk on the flats near my house and stood surrounded by trees - I wanted to clear my head, yet every single moment I was there I was in a state of hypervigilance: a familiar feeling for women. Our ...
RT @lilithepunk: Always women having to modify their behaviour. How about the police tell men to stay at home instead? Women in Clapham 'told to not go out alone' after Sarah Everard disappearance https://t.co/jrYZST...
