The mass kidnapping of 317 schoolgirls in Nigeria is the most heinous & the most cowardice act of terrorism. The girls must be released alive and unharmed ASAP. The world must unite to protect the vulnerable children from terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls bbc.com/news/world-afr…

"We can’t pretend to understand the process that women go through; we have to be led by them on it.” Meet the GB canoeing team that have turned their attention to the impact of contraception in pursuit of Olympic glory #IWD2021 | Fi Tomas telegraph.co.uk/olympics/2021/…

Happy #IWD ! I #ChooseToChallenge why we still say "football" and "women's football", "rugby" and "women's rugby". Can we decide together to call it men's and women's eg. Rugby🤔 It may seem small but when men's sport is no longer the default we show every girl that they belong💜

Following derogatory remarks about C1 Women made this week, I have reflected on how C1W has shaped me. I wrote a letter to Mallory Franklin ; a teammate and pioneer of C1W. Our debut in Tokyo is an emphatic moment and I want to share what it means to me 💜👇 eilidhgibson.com/c1women

WHAT?! I’m on LADbible 🤯 I’m so grateful to share the awesome things the The National Lottery supports. Being an athlete has led to some dark moments but sport changed my life. At Slalom Inspires we want girls to have the same chance at this life changing magic as the boys💙 This is unreal!

In 10 minutes’ time we will see history being made 🔥🏆 Watch the first ever final of women’s canoe at the Olympic Games. Previously, 4 men have had Olympic spots compared to 1 woman. This is a momentous moment for our sport! Watch Mallory Franklin go aim for gold! 🇬🇧 BBC Sport

It’s hard to put into words how momentous this is🔥 Mallory Franklin competed in the men’s category in the UK before there was a women’s category. She is a pioneer and continues to show us what is possible! No one deserves to be on this first podium more❤️ So proud 🇬🇧🥈 BBC Sport
