As a board member at @womentcities.bsky.social, I’ve seen how people coming together can reshape the cities we live in so we can thrive. WTC’s advocacy and programs are making a real difference—but this work needs all of us.

Removing change tables & product dispensers overwhelmingly burdens women & folks that menstruate.
These indignities are multiplied when someone has unstable housing or doesn't have a home.
Reliable access to bathrooms is a basic human dignity. Shame on Ken Sim & ABC for these budget cuts.

Today, WAGE Minister Rechie Valdez announced that Budget 2025 will include “ongoing, stable, predictable funding for the women’s sector.”
