Any chance of having at least one staffed till @Tesco, even if it is late. A poor customer experience with one person running round like a mad thing trying to deal with all the issues at the self check out. Felt like abandoning the shop. – at Rochdale, England

Thank you to all our members, for engaging, for travelling the UK to get here, and representing inspirational and empowering women everywhere. To recap, our Dental Health Matters resolution has passed, and we will be calling upon you to help drive change, shortly. #WI_AM2024

The @WomensInstitute vote resoundingly to launch a campaign on NHS dentistry.
This is a body that has struck fear into Prime Ministers.
NHS dentistry’s future hangs in the balance.
But its chances have gone up with the WI on side.

We now welcome @BBCTheArchers's Timothy Watson. He played Rob Titchener - an abusive partner - in a storyline which hugely impacted the public awareness of domestic abuse. Tim is joined by @womensaid's Teresa Parker, who helped with story & development. #WI_AM2024
Now hearing from Timothy Watson (Rob in @the_archers) and Teresa Parker, @womensaid, interviewed by Melissa Green @WomensInstitute discussing the storyline about domestic violence at #WI_AM2024 @RoyalAlbertHall – at London, England

The fantastic @OfficialMelB is addressing #WI_AM2024 now. Mel is a patron of @WomensAid, & is sharing her story today of abuse as documented in her stunning memoir, Brutally Honest. We're thrilled that the brilliant @vicderbyshire is Mel's interviewer.

@OfficialMelB "I did that night's US X Factor after leaving the hospital, with bruises on my face, to say I am a survivor, I am still here." #WI_AM2024

@OfficialMelB "I promised my father on his deathbed that I would leave my abuser. As he passed, he gave me the strength to leave. That's how I left. I owe my dad everything...and now I'm at @RoyalAlbertHall taking to you!" #WI_AM2024

@OfficialMelB "It takes time to heal, but it will be for life. I have good days, I have bad days, but I am alive."
"Family Courts currently just aren't accountable, & the judge can order the abused to drop off your child to the abuser, triggering more trauma..." #WI_AM2024

Honoured to be invited to @WomensInstitute Annual Meeting.
Incredibly moving to hear from the outstanding @nazirafzal and about NFWI’s wider campaign against domestic violence.
Always grateful too for our partnership raising awareness of #ovariancancer symptoms.
