"This is our Srebrenica moment. Just like the siege of Sarajevo, which was happening in full view of the world, el-Fasher is being destroyed while everyone watches. If no one intervenes, there will be no one left to save," Mahmoud told NPR's Morning Edition.

Sudan's army has lost its last foothold of el-Fasher, in Darfur, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Now warnings are mounting of a second genocide as mass killings unfold before the world.

"Women in our communities are paying the price of racist, anti-migrant narratives legitimised by those in positions of power.

Their claims that they are concerned with protecting women and girls is an insult to all of us."
We are horrified by reports of yet another racially motivated rape.

We stand in solidarity with the woman attacked in Walsall.

Black and minoritised women are disproportionately targeted with male violence and systematically failed when they report this abuse. We demand justice!

We also need to see reform of the “pro contact culture” that has led to routine minimising and dismissal of serious concerns about abuse.

We urge government to build on this by finally implementing the recommendations of the 2020 Harm Panel report.

Incredible news! We strongly welcome plans to repeal the presumption of parental involvement, which will protect children from abuse & save lives.

This is a long overdue change to how our family courts operate.
