New statement to @CommonsHealth on #socialcare future funding. Disabled women demand free flexible support at home and a living wage so family carers can opt in or out. #ScrapTrident: to replace costs 10 x social care yearly spend. winvisibleblog.wordpress.com…

Message to the House of Lords - Don't leave us out of the Domestic Abuse Bill! We've contributed to the UK's wealth for centuries. Many of us are key workers keeping communities going - we demand our rights!
Watch WAR’s new film immigrant women demanding protection and resources in #DABill, made jointly with @AfricanGr. Please retweet.

No Recourse to Public Funds leaves women dependent on violent men. All women deserve housing, healthcare and benefits… We demand UK Home Office abolish #NRPF

Many of us with #NRPF are dependent on people who exploit our vulnerability. We demand @ukhomeoffice abolish #NRPF we all have a right to live safely, access healthcare and benefits

Women of colour earn up to 32% less wages of white men. Over 20% of children in care are from BME backgrounds. It's RACISM & POVERTY NOT NEGLECT - stop stealing our children. #SupportNot Separation #CareIncomeNow

Last night @Channel4News reported that migrants in the UK fear charges for #NHS treatment, or being reported to immigration authorities if they go to the doctor - part of the Government's #HostileEnvironment.

We're calling for an end to use of 'parental alienation' by in family courts to deny abuse. Stop misogynist MPs attempts to criminalise women in the #DomesticAbuseBill @NotSeparation againstrape.net/press-releas…
These headlines barely brush the surface of the trauma and abuse going on behind closed doors during lockdown. The Domestic Abuse Bill has a long way to go to provide adequate resources and protection for the victims of domestic abuse. #ConfrontingCoerciveControl @AgainstRape

70% of women seeking asylum have fled rape
Many of us fled rape & other torture, claimed asylum in UK only to be disbelieved & banged up in Yarl’s Wood - guarded by Serco’s sexual predators. @pritipatel .@ukhomeoffice Close down all detention centres, give #PapersForAll #RegularizacionYa unconditionally & permanently.

Days before his assassination, Malcolm X came to Smethwick, near Birmingham, in support of migrant's struggles. This photo has surfaced from a Bangladeshi curry-house. Great joy seeing 2 great influences in my life in 1 photo. Seeking to identify the restaurant or anyone present.

Joseph McCann - one of many rapists, child abusers and domestic murderers freed to abuse others. This Government has cut not only Probation Service, but our escape routes – from refuges to housing to welfare. If convicted at all, violent men may feel unlucky, but rarely guilty.

Is the recent collapse in rape charging (from 14% to 2.5%) a result of 'digital strip search’ of victims’ social media? @bwrap1 @johnmcdonnellMP

The removal of a hunger striker from #YarlsWood that was due to take place today will not go ahead. Following discussions and representations made to the Home Office, they will now take time to review the case further.

Today we laid our life-ring wreaths at the cenotaph remembering all those who have died seeking safety and sanctuary this year. We laid 17 wreaths to represent the 17 people who have died each day in 2017 so far trying to cross borders. #rethinkremembrance
