A thread of short cartoons
This is an excellent cartoon about MVAWG using @evawuk.bsky.social and @hopenothate.org.uk research and resources. I’ll be sharing with North East Anti Racism Coalition. Thanks for creating it @vulgadrawings.bsky.social
We can't end violence against women and girls while lies about its causes are endorsed by those in positions of power.
The facts about VAWG in the UK are stark. Weaponising violence to further a racist agenda is #NotInOurName
Great visual explainer by @vulgadrawings.bsky.social 👇👇👇
