โ€œThe persecution against me, my detention, and the media lynching have been exhausting, and have resulted in anxiety, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress for me.โ€

You can read our statement of #solidarity with Mexican #Feminists from May 2022 here:

โ€˜Sisters in #Mexico are being tortured because they stand up and demonstrate demanding justice for rapes, abductions, and femicides.'

"... in #Mexico there are tens of #feminist activists like me, this is a political persecution against the feminist movement.โ€

๐ŸงตWe are getting ready to listen to @glosswitch talking to @soniasodha at @Womans_Place_UK online launch of #Hags #WPUKHags - very exciting!

#WomensHistoryMonth #readwomen #BookTwitter #IWD2023 #InternationalWomensDay #WorldBookDay #booktwt Image
Victoria @glosswitch is talking first about how she got the idea for #Hags and how 2020 was named the 'Year of the Karen' and it struck her that middle-aged women were being demonised #WPUKHags
She is also talking about #feminism in the 90s as a member of #GenerationX and how she had thought that her generation would be different to her mother's generation. But then realising that our feminist experiences are the same throughout #HERstory #WPUKHags

1/ After #PrideCymru2022 where @GetTheLOutUK Lesbian marchers were told to leave by @SWPCardiff, we share our question asked of First Minister for Wales @PrifWeinidog about why Women in Wales in 2022 are frightened to speak about their sex-based rights. We attended with @WRNWales
2/ Mark Drakeford, First Minister @PrifWeinidog spoke earlier about the difficult discussions necessary for the Cooperative Agreement to succeed, challenging those who โ€˜pass on the hot potatoโ€™ ...hear how he passes the โ€˜hot potatoโ€™ of Womenโ€™s rights on to @JulieJamesMS to answer.
3/ โ€˜I donโ€™t want to have a single womanโ€™s voice silenced under any circumstances. Iโ€™m more than happy to make that commitment [enabling Women to be heard] and I know that other colleagues in @WelshGovernment are more than happy to make that commitment too.โ€™ says @JulieJamesMS

1/ FiLiA is driven by the passion + dedication of its team.

Our annual event is unfunded and organised by volunteers. In 2019 we measured the Woman-hours that made FiLiA happen ... 8,344! It's more now, as FiLiA has grown.

Some things along the way ...

filia.org.uk
2/ We took FiLiA out of London to reach more Women and to grow the movement. Our CEO moves every year to hear from and engage local Women.

We gained charitable status.

We started the Friends of FiLiA scheme to support Women to participate in FiLiA.

filia.org.uk/friends-of-filโ€ฆ
3/ We've held FiLiA in #London #Manchester #Bradford #Portsmouth

1,350 tickets were sold last year. We anticipate that #FiLiA2022 in #Cardiff will be even bigger

So far Women from 62 countries have made their way to FiLiA to speak.

'the story ... is how โ€œtrans activistsโ€ and their โ€œalliesโ€ have actively prevented FiLiA from doing grassroots work to benefit the #women and #girls of #Portsmouth - with the complicity of local institutions and elected representatives.'

2/
'A year-long series, which FiLiA was due to run alongside the Play Youth Community youth groups within @portsmouthtoday , working with #girls excluded or at risk of being excluded from school was #cancelled.'

3/
'The @BritishRedCross individual refused to share details of the events with local #women and lobbied other service providers to also boycott them, again based on spurious accusations of โ€œ#transphobiaโ€.'
