Happy Pride Month to all in the LGBTQIA+ community!

Our mission at 50:50NI includes empowering queer and trans women to participate in politics, ensuring that all women are represented and heard.

Studies show that women prioritise sustainability initiatives and invest in the climate. This is important as women and girls are disproportionately impacted by climate change.

More women in politics means a firm commitment to climate action and environmental justice!

This week we think of the women who play important yet often overlooked roles in the ongoing decolonisation of the 17 Non-Self Governing Territories recognised by the UN.

Women's voices must be included in order to dismantle all systems of colonial domination - including the patriarchy!

Had a lovely morning yesterday at the Launch of Women's Spaces 'Pillars for Peace' toolkit.

An amazing tool to facilitate, encourage and increase women's role in peacebuilding in NI.

You can access a fantastic resource here: www.pillarsforpeace.org/toolkit

Horrifying to see what women in politics have to deal with!
Disgusted that the Minister of Communities shouted at me twice to sit down as I was making a legitimate point of order regarding childcare funding. Aggressive, arrogant and have to say - doubt it would have happened if I was a man.

Hi, all women's sector folks! Trying to put together a starter pack for all women's sector organisations/ activists/feminists on BlueSky. If you see yourself as part of that, could you share your profiles below, please? Ideally, could we make an Ireland pack and a NI-specific pack?

No better topic for our 1st post than who we are!

We are an organisation in NI highlighting the importance & need for more women in politics.

We provide training to women who want to run for election, and this training programme will be expanding greatly in 2025- So stay tuned!
