Happy marriage equality anniversary! What a proud day for Ireland, 22nd May 2015, when it became the first country to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote. We build on successes like these to keep working for full rights, protections and equality 🌈💜🏳️‍⚧️ #YesEquality

Thank you to @TheUSI for having us to speak about intimate partner violence in the LGBTQ+ community, as part of the gender-based violence conference yesterday!

Just a reminder to all the trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming members of our community today: you are loved, you are seen, you are valid and you matter 🏳️‍⚧️🩷

Happy #TransDayofVisibility ! It's a day to celebrate the strength of the community & to show solidarity. Trans people are at 2-3 times higher risk of experiencing partner violence. We need to work to close health disparities like these & ensure all survivors are supported
