I don’t know a single woman who has spoken out about male violence without facing threats to her safety, family, or career. The same violence we expose is turned against us—a calculated tactic to silence us.

We will never forget Banaz. If you don’t know what happened here I urge you to look it up. We all need to learn the lessons from how Banaz was let down and make sure that it never happens again. It’s up to us all to take responsibility for our own learning and development.

At 16, Valerie was taken on "holiday" by her grandmother - someone she trusted. Instead, she was held down, cut and left in a pool of her own blood. She had experienced female genital mutilation. We’re committed to protecting all women and girls from this horrific practice.

Too many women are told to stay quiet, play nice, and be liked. I chose the other path. Calling out injustice and male power in the family courts — and not backing down. The Guardian front page today. My new book He Said, She Said is out 1 May. 🔗 amzn.eu/d/gNb6zYW

When Valerie’s grandmother made the decision that she should undergo female genital mutilation, she believed it would make her ‘pure’ - but it left Valerie scarred for life. This horrific practice is illegal in the UK. Now, we are working to end it for good.
