855,000 adults in the UK identify as bisexual, yet many bisexual people face erasure, biphobia and higher rates of mental health difficulties. Everybody deserves to feel seen, regardless of sexual orientation. Happy Bi Visibility Day ♥️💜💙

The Equality Party welcomes this important step towards justice for survivors of rape and sexual abuse. However, justice after violence isn’t enough. #EqualityParty #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #WomensRights #VAWG #UKPolitics

What if we stopped talking about social care as a burden? Care is something a wealthy country should be proud to provide. It gives people dignity and quality of life, and the mostly women who provide it (both paid and unpaid), deserve proper recognition. Andy Burnham: what's your plan?

🚨 SEND children need better support, not fewer legal rights. EHCPs provide vital legal protections. Government proposals could restrict them to children with “complex needs”, leaving others reliant on school support plans. Reform SEND — don’t remove rights. #SEND #Equality

The care gap is not a women’s to-do list. A recent BBC article on the mental load for parents puts the solution in the wrong place. Women can’t organise their way out of the care gap. It’s a political problem. We need political solutions. #CareGap #WomensRights #GenderEquality #MentalLoad

Austerity is a political choice. Kay's report from the Anti-Austerity Summit looks at the ideas and discussions and asks how we can move from simply opposing austerity towards a positive alternative: communities where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. #Equality #SocialJustice

The Equality Party welcomes the UK’s proposed ban on goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, but the UK must take stronger action against settlement expansion and use its influence to uphold international law, and protect Palestinian people.

Gloria Steinem died this week aged 92. Gloria leaves behind an extraordinary contribution. She saw enormous progress in her life, yet there is still so much more to do. We remember her with gratitude for the doors she helped open, and for those she inspired to keep pushing them wider. #Equality

We are deeply alarmed by the sudden cancellation of surgeries for trans and non-binary people referred by the Welsh Gender Service. People's healthcare should never be sacrificed to a moral panic whipped up by the media. #TransHealthcare #LGBTQRights #ProtectTransPeople #NHS #Wales #Equality

💷 Can we have a grown-up conversation about tax in this country? Will Andy create a fairer economy where those on the lowest incomes are exempt and billionaires pay more? 🤔 We'll see if he has the courage to #chooseequality #equalityisbetterforeveryone #equality

Dolly Parton was not only a talented musician, she built an extraordinary career and business empire while never losing the warmth and humour that made her so beloved. Dolly Parton leaves behind an incredible legacy,. not just music, but through the lives she touched. #RIPDolly #Equality

Reform claims Britain’s housing crisis is the fault of immigrants. But 89% of new social housing lettings already go to UK nationals. So this isn't about immigrants “taking our homes”. It is about decades of government failure to provide enough genuinely affordable social housing. #Equality

TW: DA and SV Tell asylum seekers the law by all means, but don't scapegoat them for the massive home-grown problems of domestic abuse and sexual violence - over 1.5 million crimes last year. It's time to end men's violence against women and girls across our entire society. #VAWG #Equality

💷 Did you know that the wealth of the richest 1% of people in the UK grows twice as fast as the wealth of the other 99%? There is another way. Choose #Equality

TW: sexual violence. Simon Levy, a serial serious sex offender, has now been sentenced to life for the murder of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins. ❓Why are women still being failed by a system that already knows the risks posed by violent men? #Equality #VAWG

Trigger warning: sexual assault. 😢 We have an epidemic of men's violence against women and girls in this country with over 2000 attacks a day. 👮‍♂️ Less than 1% of rapes results in a conviction. If the Government is serious about its VAWG strategy, let's see some action, now. #VAWG #equality

We know that many trans and non-binary people are approaching today with uncertainty and concern. To our trans and non-binary siblings: we stand in solidarity with you today and everyday.

This Disability Pride Month, we got a new Prime Minister. Is Andy Burnham the one that will finally fix PIP and say to disabled people, ‘How can we help you thrive?’

Human trafficking is not a distant issue - it is happening here in the UK. Traffickers exploit inequality, poverty, discrimination and vulnerability for profit. Ending trafficking means tackling these inequalities, protecting children and working to end violence against women and girls.

“Disability is like living life in the shadows. It’s very hard…” This Disability Pride Month, we asked Equality Party members what Disability Pride Month means to them.

🏳️‍⚧️The EHRC Code of Practice on trans rights coming into force on the 5th of August. 👎The guidance says that trans women should be excluded from women’s facilities they have been using for years, including toilets. This is discriminatory and will potentially harm ALL women.

#AndyBurnham if our country is going to work for everyone, it must work for women. #equalityisbetterforeveryone
