A reminder to Edinburgh, Cambridge, all other universities:HE providers - “freedom of speech in HE should be upheld at every opportunity & should only be limited where there are genuine safety concerns or it constitutes unlawful behaviour.' equalityhumanrights.com/en/our-work/ne…
Thank you to Northumbria University for hosting our meeting in May 2018: A Woman’s Place is Standing Her Ground.
Thank you to Oxford University for hosting our meeting in October 2019: A Woman’s Place is at the lectern
Thank you to UCL for hosting our successful #WomensLib2020 conference in February 2020.
These universities have shown a commitment to upholding freedom of expression in line with the legal requirement imposed on most higher education providers. They have supported women’s right to organise and speak. We look forward to more universities showing the same commitment.

We are pleased to see that Edinburgh Labour Students have removed the statement they published yesterday which we believe defamed both our campaign and Ann Henderson.
We are disappointed that Edinburgh Labour Students have not responded to our email or our response or apologised for the false claims they have made about us.
We also note that the statement from 2018 which made the orginal defamatory allegations is still on the Edinburgh Labour Students Facebook page. This should be withdrawn as well.

The treatment of Rosie Duffield MP is deplorable. We applaud her courage in speaking out. @UKLabour says it wants more light and less heat but its actions don’t support this claim. This is a thread of some of our attempts to get Labour to listen this year.
In February 2020, we published this post about the failure of @UKLabour to respond to our formal complaint about behaviour by Labour Party members at our unofficial fringe in Brighton. Six months later we have had no response

This is the letter one of our co-founders @ruthserwotka wrote to Lisa Nandy when she made false and damaging allegations about us on the Radio 4 Today programme. We have had no response.
