She was a true feminist shining light in the world of media were we weren’t always sure we had allies.
We send our sincere condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.
The tributes to Jenni Murray are focusing on her interviews with powerful and privileged women. Here at Project Resist we would like to pay tribute to the fact that she always made sure the voices of the most marginalised and vulnerable women were heard. 1/2

We are glad to have joined with @rightsofwomen.bsky.social and 30+ other organisations to raise the alarm over the Government’s plan to restrict jury trials.
The plans won’t solve the court backlog and risk undermining access to justice for women and girls.

This is the time to come together in resistance.

Project Resist is working with the families of Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm to ensure accountability for police failures.
We are also campaigning for a radical overhaul of the current system of policing domestic abuse.
We want to see an end to these preventable murders.
Today, we launch a new campaign: Double Injustice.
Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm were killed by the same violent partner. On both occasions, the police knew about risks to their lives but did not take any effective action, and both times the result was the woman’s death.
Both deaths were preventable.
The Suicide is Homicide campaign has been covered throughout the media, including Guardian, ITV and Sky.
We will continue to campaign until we see justice on this issue.
#suicideishomicide

Catch up now with the vital Suicide is Homicide campaign.
All suicides linked to domestic abuse need to be investigated as potential homicides.
We are working for justice alongside Sharon Holland and affected families.
