Coverage of Women's sports seems to be pushed to one side when it comes to the media. How are girls meant to become inspired to take up sport when it's almost like hidden away. #YouCantBeWhatYouCantSee
Irish Times sports section does it again. Manchester City gets front page. Hyde and Cremen winning GOLD for Ireland at Worlds gets (a teeny-weeny section on) page two. Thanks lads. #womeninsport

Women have a right to live free from violence. Yet, intimate partner femicide in #SouthAfrica is almost 5x the global average. We need action and accountability. @unwomenSA's Aleta Miller is raising her voice #ForAllWomenAndGirls. 🔗 unwo.men/iwYE50ZSHTA #NoExcuse

We teach women to share locations, carry alarms, screenshot everything, change passwords, alter routes and watch over their shoulders. Maybe the revolutionary new safeguarding strategy could be: stop the person causing the danger. #VAWG #StalkingAwareness #GMP #Harassment #Safeguarding #WomensSafety #EndVAWG #ProtectWomen

Violence is not private. It is a human rights violation. Women and girls face physical, emotional and economic abuse every day. Ending VAWG requires survivor-centered justice, prevention and real accountability for perpetrators. Safety and dignity are rights, not privileges.
