February Reflection
The snow has hit us in the UK with a fierce face. I am snowed in, sat in a room day after day as I don’t want to slip and slide and topple. And so are many others. Battling to stay safe. Battling to stay safe in a pandemic and a snow-time. And keeping spiritsContinue reading “February Reflection”

Goodbye 2020 (almost)

Friends have suffered financially, had bereavements and the list goes on. But this year I have seen evidence ofContinue reading “Goodbye 2020 (almost)”

I am reading one of the most profound and inspiring books I have ever read. The true story of an amazing man. We all need a hero, someone whose story fills us with utter hope.

I have given much thought over the past months, to what justice means, particularly in regard to male violence against women. There is a wonderful organisation called The Centre for Women’s Justice (CWJ) here in the UK and its aim is: Holding the state to account for violence against women and girls. I want toContinue reading “Hope of Justice”
