Comments
  • Misogyny in Northern Ireland is very high and this is my main reason for running in this election. More needs to be done to protect women and support them in this country. The rates are femicide and DV are some of the highest in Europe, this is not acceptable. Women need to be protected and their rights given freely, not fought for constantly.
