This is Lana Clarkson. She was killed by music producer Phil Spector. She’d met him only two hours earlier. Several women at both trials of Phil Spector described how he was abusive and known for “waving guns in people's faces”.

Quoted @SBSisters
We are alarmed at the Govt’s decision to fragment its approach to gender-based violence (GBV), by creating 2 separate strategies for Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG) and Domestic Abuse (DA).
Important concerns abt govt's plans for separate VAWG & DA strategies raised by @SBSisters @AngelouCentre @Safety4Sisters & @lawrsuk. Separate VAWG & DA strategies risks reversing 10 yrs of a joined-up approach to tackling the multiple forms of violence that affect women everyday

1/4 Today I was attacked in Parliament by #LizTruss. Tho she can read a script, she misrepresents the point of my Guardian interview. Specifically, I argue that this Gov is intentionally driving a wedge between White working class & BAME working class. It's classic #DivideAndRule
Thrilled to share the news that Andrea Simon is EVAW's new director. She brings unique vision, expertise, knowledge - building on the amazing foundations laid by outgoing director Sarah Green and those that came before her too. Onwards,sisters!✊

INCREDIBLE NEWS - @RobertBuckland to add new offence of non fatal strangulation to law
@centreWJ @Dontlookback198
Domestic abusers who leave no marks on victims face 7 years inside under new law
Quoted @kelechnekoff
You can have a genuine concern about something you’ve been told about me and address it in a manner that is kind. That wasn’t what took place. Myself and the other people who would be talking during the segment could hear me being talked about like a dickhead.
I was also booked for @BBCWomansHour this AM and heard the appalling treatment @kelechnekoff was subjected to minutes b4 broadcast; it was really unfair and then led to a #MeToo discussion with no black woman's voice. Woman's Hour shd apologise to her and really must do better.

@bishopSarahM says: “The alternative is ‘a license for continued abuse where migration status is weaponised against the victims of crime. We must do better than this.” #ProtectionForAll #SUMW @lawrsuk
@bishopSarahM endorses @lawrsuk amendment for safe reporting mechanisms to be established for survivors accessing vital public services so that they can safely report abuse w/o the fear of immigration enforcement.
@bishopSarahM supports calls for further debate on how migrant women can be fully supported & shares concerns that the proposed pilot scheme, the existing DV Rule & DDVC do not provide sufficient support to many.
Great to hear @BullDeborah stressing the need for the #DABill to provide equal protection for ALL women #ProtectionForAll #SUMW
Lord Griffiths asking whether the support for migrant victims pilot will lead to a long-term strategy for migrant women that fulfil articles 59 and 4.3 of the #IstanbulConvention - until we address the needs of MW we cannot ratify the IC #DABill #SUMW

Important point from #BaronessMeacher re the #DABill - for it to comply with article 4.3 of the Istanbul Convention the Bill needs to ensure non-discrimination on any grounds incl immigration or refugee status #SUMW #ProtectionForAll
Great to hear #BaronessMeacher voice support for clauses relating to migrant women tabled in the Commons. These issues need to be revisited to ensure the #DABill offers equal #ProtectionForAll #SUMW
@arminkahelic outlines 3 vital measures to provide support to migrant survivors as part of the #DABill
1️⃣ extending the existing safety net
2️⃣ guaranteeing safe reporting mechanisms
3️⃣ equal & effective support to all survivors
Fantastic work frm @SBSisters @lawrsuk @EVAWuk 👏🏻
