Coverage of Women's sports seems to be pushed to one side when it comes to the media.
How are girls meant to become inspired to take up sport when it's almost like hidden away. #YouCantBeWhatYouCantSee
Irish Times sports section does it again. Manchester City gets front page. Hyde and Cremen winning GOLD for Ireland at Worlds gets (a teeny-weeny section on) page two. Thanks lads. #womeninsport

Today sees the launch of the consultation into Family Law Reform. Victims and survivors have been listened to and we would like to acknowledge the commitment of @dptfinance and officials in bringing this to public consultation.
People convicted of killing a person with whom they share a child could be automatically stripped of their parental responsibility under potential new legislation.

“Biological sex matters, especially in prisons, where the safety, privacy, & dignity of women are at stake.”
—Beth Parlato
NEW: The Supreme Court signals that they will hold the line on biological sex in women’s prisons.
Roybal v. Griffith centers on a biological male inmate who challenged the jail’s policies governing housing assignments, access to female commissary items, & same-sex strip searches.
The Tenth Circuit previously allowed several constitutional claims to proceed under heightened judicial scrutiny.
“The court has to decide whether a man’s feelings are more important than women’s safety. Their decision could greatly impact the trajectory of American culture. Is our judicial system going to be based on reality or ideology?” @ichinita310, @womaniiwomaninc
Sex-based distinctions matter wherever women’s privacy, safety, and equal rights are on the line—from women’s sports to women’s prisons.
Today’s order is not a final ruling on prison policies, but is significant, given the Supreme Court’s recent sex-based precedents.

“We still lose too many girls in their early teens, and if we want them to stay, we need… more chances for girls to play and compete with other girls at recreational level.”
Well said @JudyMurray
But many scottish sports still allow males to participate in female sport

Excellent speeches. These warrior women show that after the violence, intimidation and harassment from the protest organised by the Revolutionary Communist Group they kept calm and carried on!!!
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Nottingham 7/11/26 women made history.
The first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the city for over a decade.
We are local women & this was our grassroots effort.
These are our voices.
Whatever women wear. Wherever they go. Whatever they drink. Whatever they do. They retain the right to say no.

Too often women in all walks of life feel they will not be believed if they speak out about abuse. As we have seen in the media and entertainment industry high profile men use their power to silence accusers. That has to change.

“I feel there should be stronger safeguarding in hospitals for vulnerable patients, particularly around being left alone during intimate care, changing or examinations, and stronger rules around chaperones”.
We agree. How appalling that this woman, already a victim of crime, was targeted by this predatory nurse while at her most vulnerable in hospital.
There are men who will abuse their position of authority and take advantage of any apparent vulnerability to sexually assault women. We wish this woman well, and are pleased this dangerous man has been caught and jailed.

Man : "You're always banging on about feminism". I know. Awkward. But you're always killing us. It's a dilemma.

IN 1977, WOMEN MARCHED TO RECLAIM THE NIGHT. IN 2026, THEY STILL NEED POLICE TO PROTECT THEM.
Almost fifty years ago, women took to the streets because they refused to accept that male violence should dictate when and where they could walk.
On Saturday, women in Nottingham carried that same message.
But their decision to hold a "female-only march" provoked a counter-protest from Trans activist.
Marchers faced abuse and intimidation. Police had to escort them through the city.
The women finished their march. But the confrontation exposed a deeply troubling argument about women's rights, political ideology and the freedom to organise.
The organisation behind the opposition has a history of its own.
We examine it in The Heartlands Tribune.

Women just want to feel safe, it’s the whole reason they have women only running clubs or cycling clubs. At a time when women are ever more under attack they simply want a space free from men to do things like go for a run together. It really shouldn’t be too much to ask!
Gwen Owen is the founder of a women-only running group and has taken to Instagram to express her despair at "intimidating" harassment

Reclaim the Night, a movement campaigning for women's right to walk through public spaces at night, without fear of sexual harassment, assault or violence has to be given a police escort in Nottingham from men objecting to female sex-based rights.
Rather proves their point…
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026
The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment
But we stayed strong and finished our march
Power to the women ♀️💜💚🤍

Everyone has a right to participate in sports. In the proper sex category. It’s very simple. Sports is not about identities or feelings- it’s about rules. It’s about fairness.
Ok?

Our Reclaim the Night march happening tomorrow in Nottingham is not affiliated with any group, charity, organisation or individuals.
We are a collective of women from across East Mids who are restoring Reclaim the Night to its origins of being a strictly female-only event.

Female athletes were forced to undress twice a day next to a fully intact man who had expressed attraction to women. No one asked for them for their consent.
The female athletes were told to adjust their thinking, attend “support” meetings, or risk their places and futures.
This was not, and IS NOT inclusion. It's the institutional erasure of women’s privacy, dignity, and basic rights in the name of ideology. Women and girls deserve single-sex spaces and fair competition.
Anything less is a failure of decency and safeguarding.

Women deserve more than a rushed 10-minute doctor's appointment.
After a decade in traditional OB-GYN care, Florida gynecologist Dr. Suny Caminero had enough.
She walked away from the insurance-driven model to put her patients FIRST. 🧵

Powerful speech yesterday from @Rebecca_SPaul
"Biology matters. Women forced to compete against men have been put at harm. It cannot happen on British soil.
We do not accept women being treated as second class citizens and we respect the law which is very clear."

Far too many women and girls who suffer from crippling endometriosis are told it's all in their head. It's not. It's a serious health condition. We need to have conversations about it. We need to raise awareness and remove the unnecessary stigma.

These women showed immense bravery, and justice has been done.
No man is entitled to your body, and I hope today makes more women feel able to come forward to unmask these predators in our communities.
