Absolutely exhausting after all that's been said over the past 6 months that the Home Secretary & others still think imposing more restrictions & responsibilities on women to 'keep themselves safe' is the solution here bbc.co.uk/news/uk-588545… This does nothing to tackle the real problem: male violence. Endemic everyday sexism. The notion of women's bodies as public property. Toxic masculinity.

Here are just a few of the hundreds of Everyday Sexism Project entries we've received about women's experiences with the police... "I was physically attacked by a man when I was about 25.

My name is Agnes. I am an asylum seeker, I am a woman, I am a human being.

Please share my story using #SetHerFree I had spent 55 years of my life in my country, but then I was forced to come to the UK. I never expected to leave my country – I love my country, I had a job, I was married. But I was forced to come here to save my life.

My name is Mariam and I am seeking safety in the UK. Please share my story using #SetHerFree I had to flee from Somalia because I belonged to a minority tribe that was suffering war and rape. We fled to Kenya, but it was not safe for us there either and I ended up being taken to the UK.

Welcome to the @4refugeewomen takeover of the @EverydaySexism account! Tonight three women will share their stories of what it is like to be locked up in immigration detention.

Join the conversation by using #SetHerFree Near Bedford, on an industrial estate that was a former military research facility, there is a detention centre for women called #YarlsWood.

Here, over 1500 women who have come to the UK to escape persecution are locked up each year.
