Meanwhile the huge auditorium in the conference centre is filling up with fabulous FiLiA Women. The atmosphere is electric - and joyous. We are so happy to be here together and looking forward to an amazing weekend of #solidarity and #sisterhood. Thank you #FiLiA2025

Acts like these just demonstrate what a hostile and oppressive climate women are living in and why we have no choice but to keep on fighting.

Acts like these don't deter us. They spur us onwards.

Which side are you on?

Safer Nights Out: Why More Women Are Taking Over Male-Dominated Nightlife Jobs More women are breaking into male-dominated nightlife jobs—from club security to taxi driving—reshaping safety, opportunity, and nightlife culture.

"Rather than relying on men's behavior to improve, more women are asserting themselves directly in male-dominated spaces and setting new standards... making nightlife safer and more inclusive but also redefining what power looks like after dark." www.ibtimes.co.uk/club-door-dr... ❤️✊

The venue for #FiLiA2023 #Glasgow cancelled at the last minute. We spent 2 days in a lawyer's office & won!

We are pleased & reassured that #Brighton & Hove CC have been in touch & confirmed they are not considering cancelling.

See you @ #FiLiA2025

Poster with Southall Black Sisters and The Monitoring Group logos. Bold text reads “It’s time to mobilise and not agonise.” Below is an illustration of protester silhouettes in maroon, raising fists and placards. Caption: “A joint statement on the far-right demonstration in London on Saturday 13 September 2025.”

We condemn last Sat's far-right march & the govt's racist immigration measures, which put Black, minoritised & migrant communities at risk - especially women & children.

The govt must act urgently to safeguard & support our communities.

Ministers warned watering down workers bill would threaten plans to close pay gap Exclusive: Ministers have been warned the Employment Rights Bill is a ‘once-in-a-generation chance’ to close the gender pay gap as the Commons gears up to consider amendments

Today, the Employment Rights Bill returns to the Commons.
Together with leading women's organisations, we have written to Minister Peter Kyle urging him to resist amendments to water down the legislation. Delivering the bill in full as promised is key to advancing gender equality.

It's high time trade unions did right by women. It's our movement too and we are not giving way. #UnionsForWomen
