THREAD: Following the aggressive protest at our #WPUKPrisons meeting, we rushed out the films so that people could see for themselves what people were talking about inside. Now we are pleased to be publishing films of the speeches with improved audio. /1
Charlie Weinberg opened A Woman’s Place is NOT in prison on behalf of @CrimeandJustice with an explanation of why the issue of women in prison needs urgent action.
#WPUKPrisons
She was followed by our Chair for #WPUKPrisons @BluskyeAllison “From the walls of academia to the women’s prison estate, women are catching hell”.

We are pleased that @durham_uni students are receiving alternative advice about how to manage their finances without having to resort to abusive exploitation. A short thread for women at universities across the UK. /1
Our website has just been redesigned. It is very easy to find all our resources, guidance, blogs. Our manifesto has very clear demands on ending violence against women and girls as well as addressing economic inequality and improving access to education womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-manifesto… 2/
Read @K_IngalaSmith on ending violence against women and girls: 'If we look at sexual and domestic violence and prostitution outside of sex inequality, we’ll never be working with the root causes & therefore only ever tinkering about on the surface." womansplaceuk.org/2019/01/23/end… /3

A key focus of our manifesto is on the law and criminal justice system. Our next public meeting is A Woman's Place is NOT in prison. eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-womans-pla… with @CrimeandJustice @FrancesCrook @TheHowardLeague @BluskyeAllison @BluskyeAllison @Mocha_Soul and others to be announced
Read our statement on the court ruling which dismissed the claim by FDJ, a woman prisoner who had suffered a sexual assault by a male prisoner whilst in a women’s prison. Further proof, were it needed, that UK law does not work for women. womansplaceuk.org/2021/07/07/wom…
Women make up 5% of the total prison population in England & Wales (in Scotland the figure is 5.5%).

80% of women have been sentenced for a non-violent offence.

70% women in prison are survivors of domestic abuse.

The right of women to determine the language that describes us is not an abstract demand. It is rooted in the material reality of our lives. It is vital for us to describe our experience; to uphold & improve our rights. Our manifesto: womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-manifesto… #Cervix #Women #Lab21
Our manifesto has a long list of demands to be enacted so that society can begin to address the oppression and discrimination women face. We are tired of being told to wait for equality. We refuse to be told how and when we can make these demands or the language we must use.
The fact that there are so many demands is an indictment of a political estate which continues to fail women. Women have been repeatedly let down by politicians across the spectrum and organisations which should be advocating for and with us.
