#SayNoToSexism (A Thread)
Myself and @ChippsCC launched this campaign on Saturday with our teams warming up in Say No To Sexism T-Shirts. The purpose of this is to start a conversation and have the opposition asking questions behind our message - which has been successful.
Sexism in cricket is something I’ve experienced for 10+ years of my life, and I’ve had enough. Why should I be objectified in every game? Why am I judged based on my gender? Why should I be put off playing a game I love?
Its time to stop this.
Please share!!
#SayNoToSexism
This happens to every single female I know, here are some of the milder comments that I have received, alongside two other females who play. People need to understand how common this is and how it is not okay.

#Sexism and #misogyny has NO place in cricket. FULLSTOP!!! If you hear it call it out. Together we can stamp it out. We ask for #equality and respect for all in #Cricket.
