@ElleVancouver @WomensMarchCDA Hey Elle! Vancouver’s March has in recent years been organized by March On Vancouver, I believe this year they are lending support to a Women’s Memorial March on Feb 14, their social media channels should have more info ☺️

Finland’s government is now led by these five party leaders. #newgeneration

Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, rape culture flourishes.

Every time you hear a survivor’s story:

1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.

[rayne fisher-quann @raynefq]

let girls be angry. don't tell them that they have to be polite or reasonable or "classy" to be respected. let girls swear, let them scream, let them be pissed that the world they were born into is on fire and wants them dead. niceness gets us nowhere.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Do you think gender equality is a human right?

[TONI TONE @t0nit0ne]

A Cornell University study found that men overestimate their abilities and performance, while women underestimate both. A Hewlett Packard report also suggests men apply for jobs when they meet 60% of the qualifications but women apply if they meet 100%. APPLY FOR THE JOBS LADIES.

Updates - a thread:

Yes. More women elected in last night’s #exln43 than ever before in #cndpoli. 98 in total. There were some big wins (@MumilaaqQaqqaq @Puglaas) and some big losses (@lraitt).

[Women's March IRE @WomensMarchIRE]

Congratulations to the Women of Northern Ireland, where bodily autonomy is now legal, and where our LGBTQ friends finally have Equality in Marriage!!

- You can use your phone to confirm your address;
- Your employer is obligated by law to grant you 3 consecutive hours off to vote;
- @lyft is offering 50% rides to the polls in TO & Ott;
- Your vote matters.
