Equality Party

The Immigration Data Bill raises serious questions about privacy, discrimination and the rights of migrants. Everyone deserves dignity, fairness and protection under the law. Swipe to understand what’s at stake. #Equality #HumanRights #Immigration

Millions provide unpaid care for loved ones, often at the cost of their own wellbeing. Ahead of the 15 October Westminster Hall debate, we’re calling for proper financial support, respite and recognition for carers. Caring for others should never mean being forgotten yourself. #UnpaidCarers

Abuse isn’t always physical. Coercive control can take away someone’s independence through manipulation, isolation and intimidation. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. Swipe to recognise the signs and find support. #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuseAwareness

💚 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY — 10 OCTOBER Be kind to yourself. And let's build a society that is kinder to everyone. 💚 Mental health is not a political weapon. It's a human right. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #Equalityisbetterforeveryone

🏳️‍🌈 International Lesbian Day 🏳️‍🌈 Today we celebrate lesbian lives and communities, while recognising the inequalities that still exist. We’re calling for equal access to healthcare, safe workplaces, freedom from hate and stronger representation. 💜 #InternationalLesbianDay #LesbianRights

The UK’s housing crisis is decades in the making. Labour’s building pledge is welcome, but we need more than helping a few first-time buyers. We need more social housing, sustainable construction and genuinely affordable homes. 🏠 #EqualityParty #HousingCrisis

We are in Congleton town centre today. Come and have a chat, do our equality quiz, or sign up to join our team! #Equality

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?

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

Today we remember all those lost on 11 September 2001 and honour the extraordinary courage shown that day. We look to the future with a commitment to building a world with less hatred and division, where people of every background and faith can live together in peace and mutual respect. #Remember911

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

Party Leader Kay Wesley on the EHRC guidance that discriminates against trans people. Could this become Labour's 'Section 28'? Trans people are leaving the UK for exile in Europe due to the persecution they face here. Will Andy Burnham fix it? #howaboutitAndy #equality #EHRC
