'EERC East European Resource Centre' The image is two women supporting another women and holding her hand but only seen from the shoulders down. There's also a EERC logo on the right hand side.

Great to visit East European Resource Centre and learn more about supporting Ukranian women experiencing domestic abuse.

Thanks for sharing your insights, and for all you do for East European communities living in London.

The start of the annual #16DaysOfActivism campaign reminds us that we each have a role to play in raising awareness to prevent violence against women.

A deeply moving vigil for #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence last night.

Organised by Angus Violence Against Women Partnership, the vigil marked the lives of women lost to domestic abuse and included the performance of poems by @lenpennie.

Sad, poignant yet hopeful.

We need to do more.

Want to know why #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence is so important? Today’s talk was zoom-bombed (targeted sexual harassment) during a discussion of gender inequality in marginalised spaces. Some men just can’t stand women discussing our lived experience. Team Bear all the way.

Few months ago I was doing a little research on whether or how the urban space is gendered. 📊Data revealed that the highest rates of violation of women’s rights occurs in 🌆 public spaces.

#16DaysofActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence is ongoing now (25nov-10dec).

Action&📈Awareness for ending #GBV

Day 4 of #16daysofactivism and today we’re looking back at some of the outrageous laws against women you won’t believe existed!👨🏻‍⚖️

Let us know in the comments your favourite ridiculous patriarchal laws!⚖️💖

An ASU member was supported by their union & their employer to allow work-from-home options & part-days of paid FDV leave. They ensured privacy & enabled access to critical support programs. Small changes in workplace practices can change lives.
#16DaysOfActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence

One front-line worker & ASU member shared how a supportive workplace helped a woman use FDV leave to attend critical meetings & secure stable housing. That’s why enforceable workplace rights—like paid FDV leave—are vital for everyone.
