βIf not me, then who?β: meet the women reshaping local politics
Women of colour have long been underrepresented in public office across the UK, but that is gradually changing

So pleased to mark the occasion alongside other brilliant Muslim women in politics Cllr Fatima Joji and Cllr Bablin Molik.

Wanting to find middle ground with Musk is a waste of time & effort. There is no middle ground. He wants a far right government. He will continue to meddle, force & exacerbate tensions in the UK for fun & games. We need to nip it in the bud now. Lest we have another riot on our hands.

This is the backdrop to todayβs Human rights day.
But I am still hopeful. For without hope, we have nothing.

We fight because we believe. The moment we stop, humanity withers away. Solidarity to all oppressed and marginalised people.

The crackdown on our universal, inalienable human rights. From restrictions on protests, to the strangling of freedom of speech (on and offline). The roll back of rights that we have fought so hard to actualise, the world over. The maiming, killing & plundering of people & lands

To bad educational outcomes for ethnic minority children in schools. The time has come. It is time to scrap the prevent programme. It is a program steeped in Islamophobia and racism.

Criminalising children in the classrooms should never be acceptable, yet it is happening to children under the age of 10.
βTeachers & social workers are making personal judgements based on their gut feelings and biasesβ - we know that racism & prejudices in schools can leadβ¦

Amnesty becomes the latest human rights org to call what is happening to Palestinians in the Occupied Gaza Strip a Genocide. As everyone knows, Amnesty produces meticulous evidence based human rights research. Leaders across the world including the UK must take heed

VAWG accounts for 30% of all violence in Britain. Newly released data shows that it has increased by 38%, when compared with this time last year. Speak with our sons, speak with brothers, nephews, uncle, fathers, grandfathers and best friends. Men, our species is the problem, letβs deal with it.
