Up and down the country, so many of you have Tweeted, phoned, and emailed your MPs, asking them to vote for this powerful bill to protect women and girls in Parliament. Thank you so much for your support! We couldn't have got to this point without you. Momentum is building as actress Emma Watson has written to all MPs asking them to support the bill and Prime Minister Theresa May has said the bill is 'important', urging MPs across parties to support it. (See link below.) If successful, the bill will progress to the House of Lords for the next stages of the making-a-law process. It is the next important step in our vision of a Britain where women and girls live free from fear of violence. Join the conversation on social media tomorrow morning with @ICChangeUK using the hashtags #ICBill #ChangeHerstory and of course #IstanbulConvention. Whatever happens tomorrow, help us to make a noise about the Istanbul Convention - as a powerful tool to help end violence against women in the UK! Becca, Robyn, and Rachel and the IC Change team PS. Why not Tweet your MP tonight to give them a last minute nudge to vote tomorrow? https://inews.co.uk/explainers/emma-watson-stepped-support-istanbul-convention-care/
