Challenge harmful behaviour online!
When you witness abuse or harassment online, speaking up shows victims they're not alone and demonstrates that harmful behaviour won't be tolerated.

Online violence doesn't stay online
What starts as digital harassment often escalates into real-world consequences. Cyberstalking, online threats, & doxxing create genuine fear & put people's safety at risk. Knowing how to protect yourself & your devices will help you stay safe #EndOnlineViolence

Sobering reading, especially as I read this on my way to work to give a lecture on gender based violence to #LSBU Criminology students. Seems like an appropriate day for this but when will we not need to have such a day? #endVAWG
Every day, 137 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members internationally - one death every 10 minutes, according to the UN, who released their annual femicide report today.
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women #speirgorm jrnl.ie/6884469
One woman or girl killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members, UN says
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, but according to the UN the number of women and girls killed intentionally remains unchanged.

Today is #EqualPayDay - the day when, due to the #GenderPayGap in average wages, women effectively stop earning compared to men.According to UK ONS data, the Gender Pay Gap is 10.9%.
Soroptimists advocate for fair pay & for workplaces where every woman is paid what she deserves. #SoroptimistBristol

With thanks to Sevenoaks Town Council and Sevenoaks Soroptimists for the meeting today to discuss how a town council works. Important for us here in Tunbridge Wells as we have the opportunity to have our say on whether we would like an elected parish or town council in the near future
