We told you that you were in for a treat today and here it is….drum roll please…. Laura Bates has sent us a statement of support for the ICchange campaign on behalf of the Everyday Sexism Project! We are absolutely thrilled to have their support. This is why Laura Bates is backing the ICchange campaign:

‘Having spent the past three years collating women’s experiences of gender inequality, harassment, discrimination and abuse, it is clear to me that ratifying the Istanbul Convention is a matter of urgent importance. The Everyday Sexism Project has worked closely with the Council of Europe on a number of occasions, and it is clear that ratification of this Convention is an important and necessary step forward in tackling gender inequality and violence against women and girls.’

Will you join us celebrating and sharing this on social media to get more people talking about the amazing #istanbulconvention ?!
