"The result is that women are choosing not to run, stepping back from public roles or enduring ongoing psychological harm." Aoife Clements, @itseeefa.bsky.social, Founder of

White text that says “Pride Month” on a pink background with rainbow illustrations and rainbow-coloured hearts.

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.

A green background featuring a stylised globe and text that reads “World Environment Day!”. Below there is an illustration of a woman with an arrow pointing to a pink text box that says: “Did you know? Countries with higher female representation in Parliament are more likely to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, ratity environmental treaties and adopt stringent climate change policies.”

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!

#WorldEnvironmentDay2025

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!

A group of people attend a presentation in a grand hall with ornate ceilings, stained glass windows, and historic paintings. Display screens and banners feature logos from women's organizations including WRDA, NIRWN, and WSN.

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.

It's #askhertostand day! A day to celebrate women in politics and encourage the amazing women in your life to run for election!

Horrifying to see what women in politics have to deal with!

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!
