Brilliant review of Harriet Wistrich's new book Sisters in Law by Yvonne Roberts in today's Observer about her work to combat male violence against women in the legal system. I've been lucky enough to read an advance copy and can't recommend it highly enough.

Thousands dead, 40 years of cover-up, no one has ever been held to account. It's time for justice for the infected blood victims. The Sunday Times is campaigning for action. Now. #bloodydisgrace

Victory! Read Andy's thank you message to his 160,000 supporters. Each signature helped him get an unreserved apology from the CCRC, which prolonged his wrongful conviction nightmare: chng.it/NpVDqSSx8z via Change.org UK

This is your MUST-READ today. That the CPS did not charge the therapist for rape in this case further highlights how the CPS is failing victims of rape and sexual assault.

Yesterday was the start of a six-day trial at the High Court where the victim is suing the therapist ⬇️

Massive thanks to Prof Clare McGlynn KC (Hon) and all who have worked so hard to get us here ⚡️

I’d like to inform the Labour Party that women can have fully-fledged thoughts and views about policy too. Our brains aren’t just filled with jealous feelings about our partners. 🙄

The brilliant Women's Aid ambassador Melanie Janine Brown MBE has launched an essential petition today to make the family courts safer for women and child survivors of domestic abuse – and she needs your support!

Get signing! Take action! Get involved!

A man is so angry about this event that he rang the bookshop to tell them the patriarchy doesn’t exist and that women have more rights than men. Looking forward to discussing that! A few tickets left.
