Although the global majority of teachers are women, this new UNESCO report provides evidence that a glass ceiling still bars women from leadership positions in education. The report also shows how women leaders in education often have a positive impact on inclusion, addressing challenges which disproportionately affect girls, and tend to support professional development for teachers, and foster a collaborative culture.

Government continues to be outpaced in its efforts to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) as it lacks a full understanding of the extent and evolving nature of the issues victims and survivors face. In a report published today, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is calling for a truly whole of government effort to tackle the unsustainable pressure on support services and the increasing dangers from online harms. The PAC‘s inquiry heard that the services supporting the victims and survivors of VAWG have reached crisis point, with evidence that refuges are having to refuse 65% of requests and community-based services are only able to support half of those who ask for help. The rise in demand is being compounded by the increasing complexity of the cases that services are dealing with, with almost half of those in refuges now presenting with mental health problems. Services also warned of the toll that the short-term and insecure nature of funding was taking on their ability to plan ahead. With 80% of these organisations relying on statutory funding as their main source of income, it is essential that government coordinates all spending on VAWG-related activities and provides long-term funding stability to the sector. The inquiry found that government departments don’t have a complete understanding of either the extent of VAWG, or of work happening at a local level. In its report, the PAC is calling on government to gain an accurate understanding of the extent and complexity of VAWG and to learn from successful local initiatives.

Too many unpaid carers in the UK are struggling by on their own, unseen by policy makers. Taking inspiration from the union movement, says Hannah Webster of Care Full, it’s time to build the collective solidarity that can amplify our demands for an economy that values and supports us – and lifts carers out of poverty.

While dialogue and policy on Black children in the UK education system typically focuses on Black boys, there is little research centring the unique experiences of Black girls in British schools. Of the research that exists, we often see a ‘copy and paste’ application of the educational experiences of Black girls in America, where more substantial research exists. The vital differences and visceral nuances of Black girlhood in Britain are neglected in such studies. This piece of research sits as a corrective. It builds on See Us, Hear Us: On girlhood and growing up Black in Lambeth, a pilot research study commissioned by Milk Honey Bees in 2023, which explored the complexities, nuances and experiences of girlhood whilst living in the London Borough of Lambeth. This report was written by Njilan Morris-Jarra and Ebinehita Iyere, with research undertaken by 6 peer researchers and co-ordinated by Sophie Arinde. Milk Honey Bees is a creative and expressive safe space for Black girls to flourish and put H.E.R (Healing, Empowerment and Resilience) first.
