If the results of the German elections have taught us anything it’s that the far right is gaining traction across Europe and the UK is not far behind. This is not the time to be complicit. We must not let history repeat itself. #HumanRights #UKPolitics #AmnestyFeminists

International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has resigned over cuts to the UK aid budget. Poverty disproportionately affects women. It reduces their access to basic human rights such as clean drinking water, education and health care. We call on the UK Government to cancel the cuts.

It’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Last year the wonderful Stemettes released a White Paper that demonstrates the invisibility of women scientists in the school curriculum. It’s time to end sexism in STEM and end sexism in schools. #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM

Ofsted have scrapped single word judgements of schools after inspections. However we took a look at schools and the word ‘sexist’ seems to cover it.

Women are invisible in the curriculum. Boys are not learning about women’s achievements, opinions and experiences. They are not taught to develop empathy and see women as people. Hey Labour - start with a root cause of violence of violence against women and girls. End sexism in schools.
