She’s an absolute smokeshow, and she settled for Jake Paul.😖

Women’s health hubs put women at the centre of care. Joined-up services mean faster support, shorter waiting lists, fewer barriers, and better health outcomes - across every stage of life. I asked the government what they are doing to ensure all women can access them 👇
RoyalCollegeObsGyn@RCObsGyn

This week, we were pleased to work with @liz_sugg to ask the Government about their commitment to Women’s Health Hubs in the renewed Women’s Health Strategy. Read the RCOG’s priorities for the strategy: brnw.ch/21wYuYJ

On this #dayofthegirl I’m thinking of the 12 million girls forced into marriage every year and the 129 million girls that still remain out of school. A fairer world for girls is a fairer world for us all. @PlanUK

As @PlanUK says: “Finally publishing this guidance would send an important message that the government recognises and cares about the toll of harassment on the wellbeing and safety of women and girls. Until this happens, women and girls across the UK are being failed.”

Almost 1.5 million women are thought to have been accosted since the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act passed in September 2023 The guidance for police & prosecutors on how to enforce it has not yet been issued - this needs to happen asap thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

Amy Gray’s book Red Duchess tells the story of Kitty Atholl, a pioneering British female politician who was full of contradictions - a trailblazer who refused to play by the rules. I’m looking forward to learning more about her. You can buy it here - thehistorypress.co.uk/publication/re…

It’s been quite something to attend two book launches in two days written by my very clever friends Amy Gray and @petercardwell Well done to both of them for putting pen to paper and getting published, a truly brilliant achievement that I am in awe of 👏

These practices are another reason that we need a legal definition of honour based abuse, so these crimes can be recorded and investigated accurately, so we can support survivors, and so authorities get a true picture of the scale of the problem 2/2

Virginity testing and hymenoplasty were made illegal in 2022. In @UKHouseofLords I asked the Government what steps they were taking to encourage reporting and build stronger evidence 1/2 @KNFMHBV

What a journey! After 8.5 years, today I bid farewell to @UNFPA and the @UN family. I leave with confidence that a brighter future for women and girls is within reach. I'll be rooting from the sidelines as my amazing colleagues carry our march of progress forward. ¡Adelante!

It was great to share a platform with Neisha, one of the members of @PlanUK’s Youth Advisory Panel. She did an excellent job sharing her perspective on the importance of reproductive rights for young people, and reminded us all that we need to hear their voices at the table 2/2
Plan International UK@PlanUK

Proud of our YAP member Neisha, who is advocating for reproductive agency for young people. Young leaders aren’t just speaking up about SRHR, they are pushing for action! 💪

Wrapping up the UK launch of @UNFPA's 2025 State of World Population report, I highlighted the importance of maintaining a clear focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights. When women have reproductive agency they help change the world for the better 1/2

As declines in fertility rates make headlines, women + young people are often blamed for demographic shifts. This week in parliament we discussed the real fertility crisis - a lack of reproductive agency. @SarahChampionMP @meralhece @LeighInghamMP @FCDOGH @APPGGlobalSRHR
