@gtmtrav was delighted to attend the @itmtrav AGM. The theme was "Safeguarding Traveller Culture for the Future." Great to meet up with other strong Traveller organisations as we work together to fight for Traveller Human Rights.

📚Almost 2 out of 3 of the calls @SVP_Ireland received on #BackToSchool costs were from lone parents. The vast majority of lone parents are women.

👉#Budget2024 is a huge opportunity for government to address systemic disadvantages like these for women.

I joined twitter to gain a platform for when I run for election in 2028. I want to run for election because I've been a young girl that has seen a lot of wrong. I want to change the system of domestic abuse, discrimination against the minority and be a positive change to life.

I am 17, Although I am young, I am an activist, a traveller activist, recently employed by kildare Traveller action in relation to education, a member of a political party, former chair of student council, I am actively campaigning for a direct public bus service to help students access their education, but also when I was just 15 I put forward a period poverty proposal for my school with the help of @ChrisPenderKE

I am only 17, I have a life ahead of me and I want to do so much more, young people should be embraced and uplifted and made apart of the conversation, we are the future. So we should have a voice in shaping it.

📻Good to hear Eileen Ní Fhloinn @Love1solidarity speaking on @morningireland earlier about the dire health outcomes for Travellers.

👂Government must now listen and implement long-standing recommendations to improve these outcomes.

This is the reality of the #childcarecrisis.
Women locked out of employment.

Creche's struggling to provide services.

Endless juggling and pressure on women to find a solution to a systemic problem

We need #PublicChildcare
