Women’s Representation in Peace Processes
My Lords, it can be very difficult for women to take part in peace agreements without support and training. If they are excluded from peace processes, it can mean that there is no long-term peace for half the population: the women. In particular, the Min

My Lords, as we know, this horrific failure is not confined to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. A number of other NHS trusts are being investigated, and I suspect it goes much further. Neither is this a problem of just the last 13 years; it goe
