FiLiA is a charity that campaigns for a world free from patriarchy where all women and girls are liberated. More than 2,400 delegates are gathering in Brighton this weekend and the activities of a small, violent minority will not diminish the spirit of sisterhood and solidarity which FiLiA embodies.
There are 250 speakers from across the world and over 80 sessions covering the broad spectrum of women’s lives all over the world: anti-racism, women's health, male violence, political organising, lesbian lives, migration, class and much more.
Brighton is proudly a City of Sanctuary and it is impossible to believe activity of this sort could be tolerated. Despite this, we have heard today that Brighton and Hove Council has rejected FiLiA’s Public Spaces Protection Order which we submitted in advance to pre-empt behaviour and aggression of this sort. We call on the council to condemn last night’s antics and to acknowledge that to protest against FiLiA is to protest against women gathering to discuss their lives.
It is shocking and saddening that a conference for women to discuss domestic abuse, sexual violence and lesbian safety, has been met with smashed windows, graffiti and intimidation. We appreciate the support and professionalism from venue staff, which enabled us to start safely and to open on time.

🚨Ending #VAWG & defending migrant rights go hand in hand. Leaders can’t halve VAWG, while not challenging lies about its causes.
We join 200 organisations in rejecting the weaponisation of VAWG by those with an anti-migrant agenda.

Perhaps the point in #Adolescence about how normalised, ordinary, day to day and constant sexism is in workplaces, schools, communities is made by the fact everyone is ignoring it & talking about boys being left behind drfinnmackay.co.uk/blog/adol…
Thanks Rachel for debunking myths that aren’t doing anybody any good and ‘showing how reality leads us to a very different version of the contemporary crisis in masculinity than the one most often circulated’ 👏
A miraculous recovery needed. There were big defeats in the 90s but this may be worse …! C’mon Wales 🏴

All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me No fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the golden ones…
All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay

Trump has ordered the withdrawal of the US from the @WHO.
The British Medical Journal reacted saying that “Withdrawal from WHO does not “Make America Healthy Again,” but instead threatens the US' national interests and public health.
