You can teach us to be modest, but it won't keep us safe.
You can teach us to be careful, but it won't keep us safe.
Because girls and women don't abuse and rape themselves, this is not about us.
Hold violent men accountable.
End violence against women.

“You’re f*****g stupid” “F****d up” “c**t” “f*****g freak” “no one wants to share a flat with you” “even ur family hate you” - sticks n stones ... but words will never hurt me? Words do hurt. Psychological abuse takes precious lives every day. Don’t be a bystander #EndGBV

Today our new Domestic Abuse (Scotland) 2018 Act goes live. We’ve created a progressive, survivor-informed law that can change forever Scotland’s response to those living with coercive control and intimate terrorism. We’ll focus on worries about implementation, but today? 💪🏴

Marking the day Scotland legally recognises coercive, controlling, terrorising behaviours in intimate relationships (current and past). Controlling your partner through emotional/psychological/sexual/financial abuse, with or without actual violence, is a crime. The law sees you.

Sensible.
Ahead of the Stage 1 debate on the Census (Amendment) Bill this afternoon, we've published our briefing for MSPs on the Bill. Read it on our website here:
engender.org.uk/content/publ…
ALT Engender reiterates that our experience and expertise around women’s equality and feminist policy leads us to believe that the Census Amendment (Scotland) Bill poses no threat to gendered data gathering and analysis. We support the general principles of the Bill at Stage One as well as the emerging consensus around amending the language of ‘gender identity’. Full text of this briefing is available on our website.
