In our book #SilencedWomen , we show how this silences & pushes women out of public spaces, when we need more women in politics

A real pleasure to be invited as a panelist for Institute of Commonwealth Studies event on combatting online harassment of women in parliament.

Women in politics are 27 times more likely to face abuse online than our male counterparts and even higher if you're Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic.
