Sadly you couldn’t make this up: Man aggressively interrupts women filming a report about creating safe spaces for women. A mother and daughter sharing their story on feeling unsafe had to stop as he became verbally aggressive, perfectly proving why such spaces are needed.

“I understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence,” replies Jess Phillips to a group of men intimidating after her win. Jess then tells of how a young woman delivering leaflets yesterday was filmed and screamed at by an older man, who then slashed her tyres. Huge respect to Jess.

“I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age,” says Gregg Wallace in a video he has posted online this morning. Nothing says ‘I’m not a misogynist’ like stereotyping women. Great work Gregg, tell us who you are again.

Male photographer at Oliver Awards asking Hannah Waddingham to “show leg” is lecherous stuff. Men like this need their passes for these events to revoked. Women are not your objects to objectify and command to move as you see fit.

ITV News have uncovered numerous allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour by Gino D’Acampo spanning 12+ years. Women say he made graphic comments, exposed himself, and threatened junior staff. Some production companies were aware but continued working with him. 🔺 Hannah: “He told me he’d ‘like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter.’ People laughed, but I felt ‘very, very, very small.’” 🔺 Natalie: “He opened the door in his boxers, jumped on the bed, and said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s only small,’ while flicking himself. It was aggressive.” 🔺 Crew member: “He told a runner, ‘If you don’t get me a Cornetto, I will f*** your girlfriend.’ He used his power to intimidate us.” Bosses at the production company behind Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip in 2018 appear to have been aware of concerns about his behaviour. ITV News has seen evidence that concerns were raised with Objective Media Group over multiple sexualised comments made to staff. D’Acampo: “I emphatically deny these claims. I have never been made aware of them before.” ➡️

How many women does it take to be believed? In Noel Clarke’s case, it took 26. He sued the Guardian for £70m, claiming conspiracy. The High Court ruled their investigation was substantially true. I explain why investigative journalism like this matters, now more than ever…

How can we expect victims to report rape or domestic abuse when officers laugh off their testimony, joke about sexual violence and trade racist hate? This isn’t ‘toxic behaviour’, it’s a culture that silences victims before they even speak. Shameful. ➡️

Heartbreaking. Autistic children at a UK school were shoved, restrained by the neck, left sitting in vomit, and confined in padded rooms for hours, some developing PTSD and epilepsy. A police probe ended with NO CHARGES. Families demand accountability. The footage from Whitefield School in north-east London resembles "torture", one safeguarding expert told the BBC. It shows for the first time the reality of what pupils faced. Six of the families have agreed for the BBC to show the footage. They wanted to reveal the scale and severity of the trauma their children had experienced - which they feel they have been misled about. ➡️

15-year-old Holly Newton’s murder should move all of us to speak out and raise awareness of coercive control. What are our govt, police, schools and employers doing to tackle this? Why should Holly’s harms be classed as knife crime?! This is domestic abuse. This is escalation.

Lucy was 13. Groomed, isolated, coercively controlled. But the law says it’s not domestic abuse, because she was under 16. While boys are radicalised by violent misogyny online, girls are left to survive them. This is state failure. ➡️
