Well, that was quite a busy weekend. Here are the blogs we put out - Where is the outrage: male violence against women by Charlotte Delaney https://t.co/6jkB3P...
RT @FiLiA_charity: @Womans_Place_UK @Vaishax @GitaSahgal Thank you for organising. Phenomenal!
RT @VaDashka: #WPUKMovies #BWWSW That was an exceptional webcast discussion and film. Thank you to all concerned: #ButWhatWasSheWeari... @Womans_Place_UK #VaishnaviSundar #GitaSaghal ...
RT @TybilAlper: I got so engrossed there, that I stopped tweeting at some point! Thank you @Vaishax and @GitaSahgal for sharing your conversation with us. I hope everyone who hasn't already watched But What Was She Wearing? Goes now to see the film. ...
RT @K_IngalaSmith: Solidarity! @vaishax ‘I am a cancelled feminist because I believe in single sex spaces for women who have been subjected to sexual violence.’ as she talks about her next film #NotMyCupOfTea Better get this one scheduled in ...
Thank you to everyone who came to the fantastic online discussion between Vaishnavi Sundar and Gita Sahgal - thank you to both of them. We could have listened all night. The event has been recorded and we will put it up on our YouTube channel as soon ...

Trade unions in India are not putting women first... #BWWSW #WPUKMovies
RT @EpsteinDeb: @GitaSahgal legal reform isn’t the answer but we still need it. #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @TybilAlper: Vaishnavi talking about not wanting to give audience the relief of 'happy ending'. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies
RT @EpsteinDeb: @GitaSahgal takes a long time between law passed and implementation, eg dowry laws. #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @EpsteinDeb: 30 year old Act still not being implemented. Can it be implemented in the interests of women. @Vaishax. Women often don’t know that the Act exists. TUs and activists need to push the Act, make sure women can use it #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @DreamyIsa: There's gap point related to how the system works, its implementation: "The important fact is not that there is in an Act, but that it is implemented in behalf of the victim" #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @TybilAlper: The issue is not with the Act (against sexual harassment of working women) but in the implementation. Most important thing to do is to educate women about their rights. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies ...
RT @HanoverHussy: “A forty year struggle to fight for legislation that is an abject failure. It is the implementation of these laws... “ can legislation work if the needs of women and the survivors are not meaningfully centred” @vaishax_PR ...
The fault is implementation of the Act - has it been implemented in good faith and the interests of the woman? We need to encourage more women in leadership, young women demanding that there is a committee in place to address sexual harassment ...
RT @NWtoG: Such interesting information about the predicament of women who report rapes to researchers - not always included in reports #WPUKMovies
RT @TybilAlper: Now talking about the law against custodial rape in India, and the Mathura rape case 1972, which went to High and Supreme Court, and its role as a focus for anti-rape mobilisation. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies
RT @TybilAlper: Gita talking about earlier struggles against rape and involvement of women agricultural workers, who absolutely understood all the issues despite scepticism of some middle-class activists. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies ...
RT @K_IngalaSmith: @GitaSahgal fab to learn a little of your life history of activism as a side benefit of this brilliant conversation #WPUKMovies what an inspiration
RT @NWtoG: Brilliant discussion between @GitaSahgal and @Vaishax #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @HanoverHussy: @vaishax_PR @GitaSahgal talks about custodial rape of rape victims via Indian police- specifically the case of Mathura #WPUKmovies https://t.co/vgAxm5...
Thread. Thank you @jk_rowling https://t.co/h3qTNL...
RT @TybilAlper: "We've made the laws in such a way, that the moment the woman makes a complaint she is removed from the case". It becomes State vs. Perpetrator and the woman is removed from our concerns. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies ...
The state of the law means women won't openly share what has happened to them. They may well speak about the crime in third person for fear of retribution or negative reaction #WPUKmovies #BWWSW
"We have a lot of focus on the rights of the perpetrator but not on the rights of the woman. She should not be the one who faces the stigma or the shame but she bears the burden of Indian patriarchy." #WPUKmovies #BWWSW
RT @EpsteinDeb: The justice system isn’t accessible to very many women. Official data on sexual harassment doesn’t reflect those women #WPUKMovies #BWWSW
RT @kiritunks: Wow. Such a rich discussion between @Vaishax and @GitaSahgal. This is special. #WPUKmovies #BWWSW
RT @TybilAlper: Now talking about the mechanisms of the law on sexual harassment and collection of statistics, and lack of knowledge about this process at local level - so no information held about local complaints process. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies ...
RT @TybilAlper: Finding that NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) data on violence against women was inadequate. "No data is data" #BWWSW #WPUKMovies ...
RT @TybilAlper: @GitaSahgal now talking about the under reporting of mass rape. Partly stigma, trauma but also that researchers do not know how to deal with disclosures. #BWWSW #WPUKMovies "Stigma is in the mind of the researcher" ...
"Amnesty had a terrible record on reporting on violence against women. They were not recording rape or genocide. The researchers said women had disclosed but they didn't know what to do with those disclosures. Stigma is in mind of the researcher as ...
RT @K_IngalaSmith: What a privilege to listen to @GitaSahgal interviewing @Vaishax about her film #WhatWasSheWearing Excellent first webinar from @Womans_Place_UK #WPUKMovies
RT @TybilAlper: "I don't want to please an English speaking audience at all. If you can't understand it, read the subtitles" #BWWSW #WPUKMovies. "I made the film to be a slap in the face for the law makers and the criminal justice system." ...

WPUK rebuttal of Tribune article by Torr Robinson
We wrote to Tribune to challenge misrepresentations about our campaign in an article by Torr Robinson published in February this year. We had no response to our letter so we have published a rebuttal on our website. https://t.co/NnmARl...
RT @rebelyarns: I'm pleased that @lloyd_rm has withdrawn his shameful claims about @jk_rowling from his @tribunemagazine piece. But the rest of the article was also shocking. Many thanks to @Womans_Place_UK for republishing my critique here ...
RT @lacanlune: A clarion call to name and shame the #VAWG #IPV and #domesticviolence perpetrators, the “shadow pandemic” of COVID19. “The more I listened the more I remembered and the more I remembered the more I realised, that the MO of the lesser ...
