Coming soon the official launch of Adult Female Trade Unionists campaign

This is our Afghan authentic dress. Afghan women wear such colorful and modest attires. The black burqa never has been part of the Afghan culture.

The SNP has fully delivered just 35 of 100 pledges in 2021 Holyrood manifesto, Times analysis reveals. Free bikes and iPads for poor children, state childcare for one and two-year-olds and scrapping NHS dental charges among litany of broken promises. thetimes.com/article/ffb735…

Totally great FiLiA #FiLiA2025 session on women and trade unions: here is Ann Henderson sharing some history including these women on strike at a Lee jeans factory in Greenock 🤩

On this international girls day we remember girls in Afghanistan, the only country in the world where girls cannot live life. Childhood & every basic right are taken away from them. The young girls forced or sold into marriage and given a baby & broom instead of pen and book. 1/2

We were very pleased to see Tracy Gilbert MP at FiLiA, she is the only one of Labour’s Lesbian MPs who speaks up the Equality Act’s protected characteristic of sexual orientation & lesbians in particular. The Labour Gov. supports the SC judgment & Tracy is holding them to account.

An Afghan female judge addresses the audience at Filia Sian Berry wanted to silence women like Marzia as ‘divisive’ Please write to your MP and demand the UK government helps female judges like Marzia settle in the UK These women will not survive if they are returned

As thousands of women gather at #FiLiA2025 to shape a better future, millions of girls across the world are still denied even an education. Today is #DayOfTheGirl you can make a difference to one girl’s life by helping her stay in school. Every £ is matched to double the

One more aspect differentiates the two candidates. Phillipson believes the Supreme Court Judgment must be implemented & that sex is binary. Powell has prevaricated & pandered to the trans activists in her constituency. Sex realists are voting Phillipson. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Couldn't make it to FiLiA? Want to celebrate the work of an amazing feminist? Go and see this brilliant play about Jayaben Desai & the Grunwick strike which premiered in Edinburgh tonight and is touring until December. You even get to sing along! townsendproductions.org.uk/shows/we-are-t…

I was a computer science lecturer in university of Afghanistan. Today, I’m banned from doing what I love — teaching. Knowledge should never be a crime. 💻📖 #LetAfghanWomenTeach #StandWithAfghanWomen

FiLiA thank you for platform to launch our campaign. We are adult female trade unionists. Trade unions must stop ignoring women’s voices and women’s sex based rights.

Here are two Scottish Labour Women's Declaration activists - Cllr Alison Ann-Dowling & Norma Hart, launching Adultfemaletradeunionists - Adult Female Trade Unionists. Follow them to find out about the legal case they have launched to make their union comply with its motion in support of the Equality Act. #FiLiA2025

LabourWomen’sDeclaration 🦖 Scottish Labour Women's Declaration Alison Ann-Dowling Adultfemaletradeunionists This is SO important. Like many women, I left my trade union when they started to put men first, and decided that men can magically become women and use our safe and dignified spaces. So this is a great step - a union I could feel proud of. The 'old' unions are lost.

Proud to stand with these formidable women. Dee from LesbianLabour, Anne from Scottish Labour Women's Declaration, Allison of the newly formed Adultfemaletradeunionists and a huge diolch to Tonia Antoniazzi for a fantastic session at #Filia25

Good to see this making the editorial. The left has been badly weakened by the hold of "no-debate" on sex, gender and women's rights. It's more than time for dogmatic versions of identity politics to give way to discussion and respect for women. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/attack…

Congratulations to our sisters in the FiLiA organising group, and the volunteers who made the conference happen. Bringing women from all over the world to talk, argue (disagreement is good), network and socialise is a huge undertaking. Thank you for everything you do.

The fact that this group expects MPs to ask for meetings with them - instead of the other way round - tells us all we need to know about current power dynamics within the party. The trans tail has been wagging the Lib Dem dog for far too long. But a sea change is on the way 🌊

The deadline for the Scottish Government consultation on the draft SSI to add ‘Sex’ as a characteristic to the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 has been extended until Friday. There's still time to submit a response.
