Selling cakes to keep patients alive.

Safe staffing isn’t a luxury. It’s the bare minimum any functioning healthcare system should guarantee and yet nurses are out selling brownies because the people with the power and the purse strings refuse to invest in the basics.

#EndViolenceAgainstWomen #SheDeservedSafety
#NoMoreSilence #JusticeForWomen #NIWomenDemandBetter

Another woman in NI has been killed by a man.Another life stolen& a family broken.

We mourn her but we also demand change because this isn’t tragic it’s systemic.It’s patterned.It’s preventable.

Silence is part of the problem.
We refuse to be silent.

Every woman deserves to live without fear.

Birmingham delivered this week🔥

Real conversations
Real energy
Real solidarity✊🏼

When you’re in the room with members, you feel exactly why this work counts.

We’re fired up and ready for action.

It was a busy week from attending Queen's to listen to Rita Devlin, Executive Director, to a stand in the Ulster with Lee and Lyndsay.

Rita has had such an interesting career. She spoke about the importance of mentorship in shaping nurses into leaders and change makers.
