Today is #HumanRightsDay

IAPK is one of over 180 groups that want better from the Prime Minister.

We have signed a collective open letter to the Prime Minister to ask him to challenge the recent negative rhetoric on human rights because we believe dignity, fairness and accountability matter.

This #HumanRightsDay, join our call for action. Ask your MP to choose compassion over cruelty and reject the Home Secretary’s harsh new immigration plans.

How can you be a good ally to ace people? This Ace Week we asked our Disability and Neurodiversity Officer to write a blog post explaining more about asexuality, and how you can show allyship with ace people! Check it out here: www.equality-network.org/ace-week-2025/
How to be a good ace ally If someone comes out to you as ace, believe them. Remember to mention ace when you’re talking about LGBTQIA+ inclusion Include an option for asexual if you are asking people about their sexuality Don’t ask intrusive questions about ace people’s sex lives. Educate yourself about asexuality – a good place to start is our booklet; Including Asexual People in Services

It's Ace Week! 💜 Ace Week is marked annually, to raise awareness of ace identities and the challenges and barriers that asexual people can face, to bring together people across the asexual spectrum and celebrate the beautiful diversity of the ace community.
Graphic with the colours of the asexual flag in the background. It says "Ace Week! Oct 19th - 25th 2025" Graphic with a purple background. In separate boxes, it says "Asexuality is an orientation and just like being gay or lesbian, bi or straight it’s a core part of someone’s identity." "People of any and all genders can be asexual." "Asexuality is on a spectrum. Demisexuals and grey-aces, who only experience sexual attraction rarely or under some circumstances, are also included under the ace umbrella." "Asexuality is not the same as being celibate or unable to have sex." " Some asexual people have no interest in romantic relationships, and some do! People who don’t experience romantic attraction are known as aromantic."
