My piece in @thetimes on the Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers, and why we now need responsible, accurate and thoughtful commentary on the law relating to sex and gender thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Pleased that my mandate, the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls was renewed for another three year period (so to June 2028)
#HRC59 | A/HRC/59/L.24/Rev.1 on accelerating efforts to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls: prevention through the fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights was ADOPTED without a vote.
Today is the 30th anniversary of the successful criminal appeal by Emma Humphreys - 17 us old when she killed her violent pimp - 27 when she was released from prison following a precedent setting appeal which recognised the long term impact of domestic abuse @centreWJ
When the Supreme Court hands down a judgment it states the law as it is and has always been. There is nothing to rush. If, following this decision, an organisation has unlawful policies, it is no defence to say “oh but we didn’t want to be hasty”. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
