Women Say Stuff is a platform for women’s poetry, held annually on International Women’s Day.

This event is organised by the women of DIY poets, Nottingham, UK.

We selected Equation as our chosen charity for 2021 because the pandemic year and lockdowns have been particularly difficult for people suffering abuse at home.

1 in 4 women will still experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, so Equation challenge the attitudes and behaviours that cause domestic abuse. Their GREAT primary school project has won awards for enabling children to grow up understanding what a healthy relationship looks like and knowing how to build one for themselves. Equation give out safety information, support male survivors of abuse and bring the whole community together to provide the best possible response when abuse happens.
