Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
Across the world, LGBTQ+ people are still subjected to torture simply for being themselves. Survivors carry those experiences long after the harm ends.
We stand with survivors whose identities have been used against them.
1/ Pathways of Hope, an Imkaan-led research partnership, welcomes the gov's National Plan to End Homelessness- and its focus on prevention, local authority responses & its recognition that domestic abuse is a significant driver of homelessness.
But recognition alone is not enough.

The theme for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT) 2026 is “At the heart of democracy”.
What can you do today to voice your support for queer people, trans people and LGBTQI+ people seeking asylum?
Today, we remember Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a brutal racist attack in 1993.
We honour his legacy by continuing to call for urgent reforms that recognise the institutionalised culture of misogyny and racism within the Metropolitan Police.
Rest in power, Stephen.

Great to speak alongside Fiona Rutherford at yesterday’s parliamentary briefing organised by JUSTICE on the Courts and Tribunals Bill proposals to curtail jury trials. Thank you to the MPs and peers who attended, and to Baroness Shami Chakrabarti for chairing.

Well done to the team who completed the London Legal Walk on behalf of Rights of Women yesterday. 🌟
We raised over £1000. There’s still time to donate if you are able to support our work and increase the total!

The ability of Grok to strip women and children was not an accident.
Safeguards could have been built into the chatbot, but its creators chose not to.
I'm launching this High Court claim to pursue accountability for those choices.

Also great to bump into the team at TV Edwards on the London Legal Walk @tvedwards.bsky.social
We did a quick group picture. This is the kind of solidarity and partnership in the legal community that the walk is all about.

Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok.
I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes.
This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable.
