A huge thank you to COVID-19 Families for hosting this reflection and uniting our city to honour those who we lost in the pandemic โ€“ the work they do is vital to bringing justice, closure and compassion to families.

As a city we should do everything we can to support those who lost loved ones, and Iโ€™m glad our community came together to show strength and kindness.

Sunday was a powerful and moving day for our city as we remembered and celebrated the lives of those who we lost in the COVID-19 pandemic.

For some their lives returned to normal when the pandemic ended, but for many others their grief lived on.

After such a powerful weekend of celebrating International Womenโ€™s Day, Iโ€™ve been thinking back to the incredible photos taken by Ruth Toda-Nation to celebrate women MPs making up 40% of the Commons.

Itโ€™s more important now than ever that women are in the room when the design, building and rollout of new technology is being done - otherwise, weโ€™ll find ourselves in an online world designed only for men.

It was great to hear from so many young women in Milton Keynes about their ideas for our city and their dreams for the future.

I am forever filled with hope, inspiration and joy when I see the women of MK come together to support one another ๐ŸŒŸ

One thing is clear that social media companies are not doing enough to create a safe environment for the online sphere.

Sarah Everardโ€™s mother pays tribute to โ€˜lovingโ€™ daughter on fifth anniversary of her murder Susan Everard says her daughter โ€˜added to the beauty of the worldโ€™

When tackling this epidemic of violence, we must ensure that it is rooted out everywhere.

Women and girls deserve to feel unconditionally safe, no matter where they are, the time of the day or who is present.
