Fantastic women recognised

Thought it might be good to have a positive thread in the midst of the shitstorm women's rights are in right now:

For women working against male violence against women

Lovely to see Jean Hatchet and Woman's Place there, amongst some amazing other women and groups, including Hawa De Sesay, Jessica Eaton, Josephine Bartosch, Mehala Osborne, Roxanne Ellis, Samantha Shrewsbury, Sian Norris and the Humraaz Support Services, and The Maya Centre.

Women standing for women. It can be done.

What an awesome list of women and groups.

And yes OP - in the midst of this vile time of assaults on women's rights, how good to remember what women centred women can achieve. Reading about their achievements - brilliant all of them.

Fabulous news! And congratulations to all the nominees! I was especially happy to see the wonderful Jean Hatchet there!

I agree sceptical and heresy (shamelessly using your replies to bump up to the top of the list briefly!)

Oh I loved seeing these earlier! How on earth would you choose between so many wonderful utter sheroes? Glad it’s not my decision but oh did it lift my spirits
