Women's struggles for political and social equality, and in general, to to I you know to celebrate women's achievements and to remember that you know women have struggled.
It's making a woman feel inferior, making her feel like she's not good enough, making her feel like she's going mad. There's financial abuse where a woman doesn't have access to her own money, where money's withheld, where she's forced to.
Make sure this this whole lesson cancelling thing. We've got students travelling for an hour and a half to college for one day. Their lessons are cancelled. They're having to go back home after that hour and a half journey. That's not how you treat your students at all. They need to be informed.
