Not In Our Name: Webinar on tackling the weaponisation of VAWG

Misinformation, disinformation and misleading news stories are everywhere – from social media, to newspapers, and even in Parliament. Increasingly, those with an anti-migrant and racist agenda are using violence against women and girls (VAWG) as a tool for political point-scoring and to scapegoat.

We know this can feel overwhelming, frustrating and leaves us with questions like ‘what can I do to challenge this?’ and ‘how do we stop this?’ That’s why on 14 July 2026, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, Hibiscus, Southall Black Sisters, Latin American Women’s Rights Service, Women for Refugee Women, Imkaan and Asylum Matters are hosting a webinar to talk through our guide, Not in Our Name: How to talk about the weaponisation of violence against women and girls.

Rooted in an evidence-based strategic communications framework, the guide provides tools for people to challenge harmful falsehoods and to have productive conversations with the people in their lives about VAWG and immigration.

Delivered by strategic communications expert Kathryn Quinton, during the webinar you’ll learn about values-based framing and how to engage with people and shift attitudes away from myths, misinformation and polarisation.

Inflammatory and dangerous news stories about violence against women and girls and immigration are harming our communities. It’s up to all of us to challenge and resist these narratives.
