Lerato supported: Disqualify Big Brother housemates for transphobiaI truly don't know what to say - I cannot believe that this petition is even needed. Trans women are NOT a threat to anyone - they are amongst the most marginalised in society and deserve to be loved and protected. I've never felt anything other than completely safe with every single trans person I've ever met. The same cannot be said for Cis Men. Please please let's stop this madness and restore the safety, rights and dignity of trans people in the UK.
Trish supported: WE'VE MOVED! Find our letter at: NotInOurName.org.ukMost cis women I know, including myself, have experienced sexual harassment and abuse at the hands of cis men throughout our lives. Trans women are also vulnerable (some would argue more so) to the same abuse by cis men. They pose no threat - just look at the statistics, which illustrate clearly that cis men are predominantly the perpetrators of violence against women. Overwhelmingly, most cis women do not feel threatened by trans people at all, and this moral panic needs to stop. Cis men do not try to disguise themselves as women to abuse women, they do it every day in plain sight all the time - on public transport, in the street, at a concert or pub, and in our homes. Stripping an already marginalised and persecuted minority of their dignity and rights is not going to protect women (cis or trans) and if anything, is going to make cis women more vulnerable to abuse. I stand in solidarity with our trans siblings - together we are stronger.
Anna supported: WE'VE MOVED! Find our letter at: NotInOurName.org.ukI see the deeply negative and distressing effects that this ruling has already had on my trans friends. I had believed and hoped that our society had been moving in a more inclusive direction, but this ruling counters so many of those positive steps that had been taken.
This ruling is not in my name.
Kathy supported: WE'VE MOVED! Find our letter at: NotInOurName.org.ukNed arresting Sammy is abuse of power. He should not use force to make his wife come back to him. If Regina is done with the marriage Ned doesn’t have the right to arrest her brother. Freesammy
Juliette supported: Hold Ned Nwoko accountable for abuse of powerA Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Ned Nwoko is reportedly abusing his in-law Sammy Daniel a young man who only went to rescue his sister from domestic violence in the Senator’s home. I’m adding my voice to this petition because this is not just a family issue it’s bullying and a gross abuse of power.
No one, regardless of position or title, should use authority to intimidate or harm others. We must call this out for what it is: abuse and injustice.
Robert supported: Hold Ned Nwoko accountable for abuse of powerI am signing this petition because what this man has done is an abuse of power, morality, and basic human rights. A 65-year-old senator marrying a 20-year-old young woman already reflects a deep imbalance of power, but threatening and imprisoning her loved ones to force her back into a marriage she no longer consents to is nothing short of emotional and political manipulation. No one—regardless of their position or influence—should use authority to intimidate, control, or punish others for exercising their freedom. Such behavior is a disgrace to leadership and a violation of the very justice he swore to uphold. He must be held accountable so that no one else ever suffers from this kind of abuse.
Josephine supported: Hold Ned Nwoko accountable for abuse of powerNed is forcing Regina into marriage and against her wishes. Ned locked up Regina’s brother up in a police station just because he speak up for his sister . That’s an abuse of power ,This is against the law and human rights . Hold Ned accountable if anything happens to Regina and her family.
Chy supported: Hold Ned Nwoko accountable for abuse of powerThis child had her whole life ahead of her. It was cruelly ripped away by the people who were supposed to nurture her. The least we can do is demand justice on her behalf so that her spirit can finally rest.
Semi supported: Nigerian Feminist Demand justice for Ochanya Elizabeth OgbanjeYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
