Shocking that we *still* need a day to raise awareness about violence against women.
“It’s not for us to feel shame—it’s for them.” – Gisèle Pelicot. This #25Nov on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we demand immediate EU action: 🟣Make rape a Eurocrime. Enough excuses. Enough violence. #EndGenderBasedViolence #EUActionNow

Day against gender based violence means: Women are Not objects, Women are partners. Stop downplaying violence against women! Equality is the utmost priority for happy and healthy societies. #25novembre

Cornwall has been receiving substantial, targeted funding to support its economy for 25 years.

I get nervous reading books about Cornwall, because most are about (middle class) escape and visitor-based fantasies. But @PetrocTrelawny's memoir/ local histories felt wonderfully relateable. And informative! https://t.co/FiSTowaP7L
