#FawcettConf @sundersays.bsky.social thank you for sharing the layers of misogyny that minoritised women face. And raising the real issue that female exclusion in places of worship have.
#FawcettConf agreeing with @AminaHersi that we need a new narrative. Not a counter narrative. The narrative needs to create hope. Because humans can only live with dispair for so long. And it needs to be in everyday language. Not the exclusionary policy language progressives fall into too often.
Our keynote @stellacreasy.bsky.social begins
"We now have a govt that prioritises violence against women and girls"
"20% of all crimes reported to police [is VAWG]"
#FawcettConf
@fawcettsociety.bsky.social really excited to be joining online today. "If ever we needed a Fawcett conference, we needed it now" @harrietharman.bsky.social Couldn't have said it better.
