To get us started let's remind ourselves of last year's campaign
Last year we got our message into several shops using many creative methods

Why do we still need to campaign for single sex spaces?
Many retail stores are ignoring the safety dignity & privacy of women & girls by providing mixed sex changing rooms
#AllIWantForChristmas

Often the stores don't tell us they are mixed sex & only use a fabric curtain for screening!
How can any store provide mixed sex changing rooms & use curtains as a safety precaution? 🚩

Nearly 90% of sexual assaults in leisure centres & swimming pools happen in mixed sex changing rooms How does fabric keep predatory men away from women & girls in a state of undress?

Fabric curtains don't keep you safe!
There have been many examples of men filming women & girls or
opening curtains
How many shops do you change in that offer you a piece of fabric as a shield against predatory men?
Please complain when they do. 💚🤍💜

It's not just shops that are using mixed sex spaces
❗️The NHS has mixed sex wards
❗️Vulnerable prisoners are sharing with men who say they are women
❗️According to Ofsted 79% have experienced sexual assault in school many are in mixed sex toilets
#AllIWantForChristmas /8 Image
You Can
COMPLAIN about mixed sex toilets & changing rooms
TELL your children's school toilets should be single sex
TELL your elected representatives that organisations should be Equality Act 2010 compliant
ASK politicians if they include men in their definition of women

If you feel as strongly as we do why not come and join us

The misogyny epidemic 🧵
@Keir_Starmer has announced that an inquiry into the terrible murders at Southport will take place, in part to develop a strategy around what to do with suspects who are identified as dangerous, but who are not motivated by a clear, single ideology.

Axel Rudakubana attacked young girls, who were attending a Taylor Swift themed dance class.

He's not the only terrorist to select this victim group.

In 2017, Salman Abedi bombed Manchester Arena following a concert by Ariana Grande.

Last year, Taylor Swift required security support from the British police after a foiled plot to bomb one of her Austrian concerts.

What do these concert audiences have in common?
Young females.

WRN has been alerted by several of our members to two draft motions intended to go to the @The_TUC Women’s Conference in March, calling for the complete decriminalisation of the sex trade. Although the exact wording is not yet public, we understand that this means that ALL aspects of the industry would be legalised – pimping, brothels, advertising, trafficking. No age limits are specified.
1/11
The two unions calling for this motion to go through are the @GMB_union and @ASLEFunion. The GMB is of course the union described by a former regional president as “riddled with misogyny”. ASLEF is the union in which only 6.5% of train drivers are women. It seems no coincidence that these are the unions to call for legalisation of sexual exploitation of women. 2/11

amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…
Prostitution is exploitation of women by men. It is men using (usually young) women as objects, for their own pleasure, demanding that whatever they want be provided, regardless of how unpleasant, degrading or harmful that is for the woman. Please see our blog Prostitution and it’s impact on women. 3/11

The case of the 10-year-old girl forced to play cricket against two boys who ‘identify as girls’ has shone a light on the lack of safeguarding in children’s sport resulting from transgender policies that discriminate against females of all ages.

The majority of sports allow boys to play in girls’ sport, contravening the recommendations of the Cass Report, which is accepted and being implemented by the Government. 🧵 1/10

x.com/mara_yamauchi/…
Nine months after publication of the Cass Report, sports including @EnglandNetball @ECB_cricket @EnglandHockey and @BritGymnastics, still have policies in place that allow children to socially transition (being allowed to play on opposite sex sports teams is a form of social transition). Cass warned this is not a neutral act, and could affect the long-term development of children. 2/10Image

Our analysis of transgender policies in sports funded by @Sport_England shows that the majority allow males into the female category at all ages. At least 15 go further than a general policy with specific guidance for children under 18, including some of the country’s most popular junior sports like gymnastics and netball. 3/10

The seven candidates for @IOCMedia president have published their manifestos. After the scandalous Paris Olympics which saw eight women boxers forced to fight males, a convicted child rapist allowed to compete, and the inclusion of several males in female football, we all look forward to the election of a president who will put fairness and safety for women at the top of the agenda.

We’ve read the all seven manifestos. Here’s our guide to which candidates are likely to protect women’s rights…Image
HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan

He says, he will: Drive gender equality in sport and unlock women's potential both on a off the field of play.

WRN says: Cut the waffle. Are you going to exclude males or not?Image
David Lappartient

He says: ‘As for transgender athletes, it is a complex matter that must be dealt with rationally to strike the right balance between the need to respect human rights and the obligation to ensure fair competition. We cannot ignore what female athletes are saying, but our decisions must also be grounded on solid scientific evidence.’

WRN says: A chip off the Thomas Bach old block. Prepare for the destruction of women’s sport.Image

No woman should be strip searched by a policeman. No £5 piece of paper makes this any less unlawful and abhorrent @BTP.

The latest instalment is here 👇 in a long battle to ensure the police comply with the law, and respect women’s human rights, rather than degrade and abuse us.

#StateSanctionedSexualAssault
1/ 🧵

telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/2…Image
Many will remember our report #StateSanctionedSexualAssault earlier this year, which laid bare the implementation of disgraceful guidance agreed to by @PoliceChiefs in nearly every police force in the land.


2/ womensrights.network/_files/ugd/18f…Image
This led to the guidance being criticised at a Home Affairs Select Committee in January 2024 and quickly suspended while a ‘review’ was carried out.

Our follow up report revealed that forces were STILL operating unlawful strip search policies.

Why are women so angry about football? Some men have been musing on this ‘dressing room stuff’ @campbellclaret and are baffled. Here’s our handy primer for those at the back of the room who haven’t been paying attention @GaryLineker

We’ll start with the 17-year-old girl hauled in front of the @FA Serious Case Panel for asking the very reasonable question ‘are you a man’ when a bearded bloke walked on to the pitch to play in a female match.

Beardy man reported the matter to a charity @kickitout who then went squealing to the FA who, in turn, launched a full-on disciplinary and imposed a six-match ban on the weeping teenager. Safeguarding Fail 🚩
x.com/WomensRightsNe…
Then there’s the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women’s League… remember the young woman whose leg was broken after a tackle from a male on the opposing team? The season-ending injury led to a boycott by some of the teams, rightly concerned about the dangers.Image
The only reason any male feels entitled to play in female football is because @FA rules allow them to self-identify into the female game. When WRN met the FA back in May 24 to discuss their misogynistic policy they told us that 72 males were playing in the female game already – but it was okay because it was hardly a dent on the 2.6 million women and girls who play football. We say how many would be too many? 720? 7200? We say one male is too many. The FA is failing women.
