Sandra waited 53 years to be reunited with her son Tony. She was an unmarried mother whose baby was taken - #ForcedAdoption An estimated 185,000 children were taken from unmarried mothers between 1949 and 1976 in England and Wales. UK Gov still hasn’t issued an apology ☹️

Lady with necklace, "If we're so concerned about the welfare of women why aren't we investigating the increase in femicide, the increase in domestic violence, increase in assault and sexual harassment" "And why misogyny is still not a hate crime" #BBCQT

🟣Today's cancer waiting time stats for May 25 show a worsening picture for gynae cancer patients. 📉We are saddened that the figures have dropped below 40% again, leaving women without timely treatment. 📢We remain committed to continuing Claire's legacy and calling for change

Westminster ‘Member’s Dining Room’ menu, from the UK parliament website. Perhaps if everyone had access to subsidised food at ‘90s prices they’d be able to manage on £70 a week… but they don’t.
“Could you live on £70 a week?” “Absolutely not” “So why do you expect young people to?” “We won't” @vicderbyshire challenges DWP minister Torsten Bell on benefit reform. #Newsnight

This is absolutely horrific. Yet another woman's life stolen by male violence. Rebecca Cheptegei was an exceptional athlete and Olympian. May she rest in peace. Male violence against women and girls is a global insidious scourge and her death is another reminder that misogyny kills.

❤️International Day of Charity❤️  On this very important day, I'd like to reflect on the success of the "Everyone Deserves" campaign. Thanks to our amazing community of businesses and volunteers, we provide food in the summer holidays for kids each year, Easter eggs and chocolate at Easter, and food hampers for families in need at Christmas. Last year, we provided over 1,000 hampers filled with food and festive treats to families across South Wales. This year will be no less. As we prepare for this year's holiday season, I'm grateful for everyone's support in making this possible. Together, we can continue to spread joy across our community because Everyone Deserves a Christmas. ❤️

Replying to @orlaryan
Minister Foley says there is a 'moral obligation' on religious orders to contribute to any future redress scheme. It's worth noting, however, that orders have not committed to contribute to the Mother and Baby Institution redress scheme that opened for applications this year.

1/7. No one should express shock or surprise at #HuwEdwards' child sex offences . Offenders come from all backgrounds and professions. educational attainment, religious persuasion, ethnic heritage, sexual orientation, age profile etc. Secrecy protects them and while

Women's Aid is devastated by the news of yesterday's attack in Southport. Our hearts go out to the children and their families. Tragic events such as these highlight the epidemic of violence against women and girls in this country that urgently needs addressing.

The religious orders and other institutions involved in serious, vile abuse of children have still not contributed to the #HIAI #Redress scheme. Why not? @niexecutive #SAVIA

If you’ve seen the headlines this morning debating whether menopause is a disease and being over-medicalised, this video explains my thoughts. Menopause is more than a collection of symptoms; it is a cardiometabolic and inflammatory condition which leads to an increased risk of numerous diseases. Menopause has been ‘medicalised’ for years – including with antidepressants, antipsychotics, painkillers, sleeping tablets, anticholinergics to treat bladder symptoms, and heart medications to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and control palpitations. The first-line treatment for menopausal symptoms is body-identical HRT. Studies have shown that when women are given the right dose and type of hormones, their symptoms improve, and they have a lower future risk of numerous long-term inflammatory diseases associated with menopause including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and depression as well as early death. Talking about menopause as being a ‘natural transition’ or part of ‘healthy ageing’ ignores the very real suffering of many women with menopausal symptoms.

One in three children in Wales live in poverty. This should be cause for national scandal. But what CAN Welsh Government do? Here’s the first in a series videos on what the government could already have been doing to tackle child poverty. #ChildPovertyScandal
