“Demoralised university staff, whose pay has been declining steeply in real terms, are not responsible for the dysfunctional marketisation of higher education, which is at the root of today’s financial black hole.” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.”

Gisèle Pelicot finished taking the stand in mass rape trial against 51 men, and said the "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" must change. What this woman has done for history and women is astounding, her courage unfathomable, no honour is too great. MERCI 💙🤍♥️

GP: "...But I have grandchildren who are called Pelicot. I want them not to be ashamed to have the name. i want them to be proud of their grandmother. I want people to remember Madame Pelicot not Monsieur Pelicot."

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.

15-year-old Holly Newton’s murder should move all of us to speak out and raise awareness of coercive control. What are our govt, police, schools and employers doing to tackle this? Why should Holly’s harms be classed as knife crime?!
This is domestic abuse. This is escalation.

Her courage is a silent roar that shakes the foundations of oppression.

This video is incredible.
Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

Women’s Aid stands in solidarity with Gisèle Pelicot and commends her immense bravery to speak out against her abusers and seek justice. Gisèle has demonstrated remarkable courage which will undoubtedly pave the way for other survivors who have been silenced.
