I am one of countless people who runs an unfunded, grassroots organisation that provides frontline support to people who have been impacted by gender-based violence in Australia. Let's talk about why that's bad

Now that March has arrived, it's time for annual #IWD rant thread...

Here's to everyone who will get up early on March 8th, not to go to a breakfast that costs more than their weekly grocery shop, but just to do the same shit they do every damn day And to those who do the heavy lifting to ensure that those overpriced #IWD breakfasts go ahead - the cooks, servers & cleaners - who could never afford to attend but will never be recognised for their work beyond a minimum wage pay packet that doesn't cover their expenses
