Young Afghan woman: "If you're a woman and you have a toothache, you CANNOT get treated... Women are denied the right to education and cannot become dentists; and men are NOT allowed to treat women."

Look into her eyes.
The eyes of an Iranian woman – strong, courageous, defying tyranny where the world has looked away.
A gaze that the Tehran regime has decided to extinguish, one morning, at the hour of their prayers.
They are going to execute her. Her name is Varishe Moradi.
Wake up, world. Don’t let bravery die in silence.

New - this is simply remarkable. New data shows 42% of private school kids now get extra time with exams (compared with 26% in state schools). @bphillipsonMP wants to know why. Great story by Kieran Smith and Amy Borrett on.ft.com/3YDsrXY

Excuse the swearing in this post but you’ll understand why I’m sure. This is a graphic demonstration of the damage fireworks can do to a dog. Thank goodness the poor thing recovered ok. @Keir_Starmer the evidence is clear, end the suffering and initiate #fireworklawchange

There is a massive TikTok trend going viral right now with women reacting to audio of Trump's disgusting remarks about women. They are making the case to the men in their life to vote with their interests in mind. These videos are racking up tens of millions of views.

“I wish God hadn’t made me a girl, for we’ve become so unfortunate. I regret being born a girl; we are valued less than animals, who enjoy more freedom than we do,” says an Afghan girl living under the Taliban.

Forcing girls—especially minors—into marriage is crime!
Yet in some countries, such atrocities occur daily, where girls are subjected to physical & mental torture by families & coerced into marriages against their will.
We need to stand for freedom of women.

This thread is such an appalling read. Teachers leave, in the main, because of how other adults treat then. So sad.

Deciding to leave a school. #IAmWriting
What was the moment (or accumulation of events) that led you to decide to resign? What were the key factors involved? What 'red line' was crossed that made you take the leap?

Here’s what you need to know about Akhmed Yakoob ⬇️x.com/david_challen/status/1…

Independent candidate @Akhmedyakoob1 said “70% of hell will be women” and joked about domestic abuse on a podcast:
“Getting back to masculinity, I personally would give her a backhander. I’m not joking.”
Parliament does not need more misogynists.

Hanging on by a thread after 28 years. My issues are micromanagement by leadership with very little teaching/classroom experience and it shows. Professional autonomy actively undermined. Measures put in place for OFSTED, not the betterment of students. I'm ready to walk.
