Today is #InternationalAsexualityDay, a day to recognise and enable the work of the international ace community. Asexuality still has many stigmas attached, so it's important that we use this day to raise awareness and to educate, especially from an intersectional point of view.

We should have done more to protect Raneem from the domestic abuse that she suffered at the hands of the man who would go on to kill her and her mother. We will continue to learn from the tragic events at the heart of this inquest and we will act on the findings.

Replying to @WMPolice
@WMPolice is the first police force in the UK to have a #HateCrime reporting app. We understand people don’t always want to speak to the police. A reporting app supports people to do so in confidence. #BhamIAM #TacklingDenial #WMP
