I have serious girl respect/crush for Laura Bates and the work that she has done with the Everyday Sexism Project. This is a website that she has created where women and men can catalogue instances of sexism experianced and helps to highlight the issue that we still have today with gender inequality, but as well as shining a light on this issue it also helps to bring together a community of women to stop accepting such experiences as just
the norm.
So here is me standing up and giving a round of heartfelt applause to Laura Bates for her amazing work, Laura also did a really inspiring TEDxTalks about modern day inequality and the statistics in it are pretty shocking, also read the Dazed&Confused article about how to be a girl online.(Links Below)
