We are supporting the historic action of IDVAs in Tower Hamlets who face huge cuts and redundancies ✊️ These extraordinary workers and the services they provide are a lifeline for women. After 14 years of Tory cuts, this is horrifying. But the IDVAs will win! #TheyCutWeBleed
🚨 BREAKING: Domestic violence advisers in Tower Hamlets are balloting to strike over significant redundancies. These cuts threaten the critical domestic abuse support services they provide.
When we fight we win ✊🏿thank you for standing up for women! Police can't keep women safe because police are the perpetrators.
🚨 I can't believe I'm saying this but... For the last 5 years I've been fighting for justice and now, finally, the police misconduct panel have found that the police officer who abused me should have been sacked.
📣 BREAKING: #domesticviolence advisors at @SolaceWomensAid in Barnet return a YES vote to strike! 🔥 They now join their colleagues at Solace Tower Hamlets, whose ballot is still live. Together, they’re standing up for safer workloads &union recognition.✊🏽✊🏾 @solacewaunion
The feminist movement is winning 🔥 There will be NO CUTS to Solace Women's Aid domestic violence services! Ignore the divide and rule, ignore the moral panics. From @we_level_up critical work in prisons, to Solace workers, working class women are fighting and winning ✊🏿
✨ Victory for Workers, Victory for Survivors! ✨ IDVAs are a lifeline—their jobs should NEVER have been at risk. Despite union-busting, they voted to strike & WON! 🏆✊ When we unite, we win! 📢 Huge love to @sistersuncut & @solacewaunion for their fierce solidarity!
🎉CAMPAIGN WIN: Sentencing Council announce new Imposition guideline that acknowledges prison is high-risk for pregnant women and tells courts to avoid sending women there! 📣🎉✨ Now we need to see government implement statutory sentencing reform & changes to the Bail Act!
