New research finds that ethnic minority women interested in political candidacy report that ‘they didn’t fit’ or experienced rules and political culture as exclusionary Campaigning and canvassing for minoritised women involved incidents of racist and sexist abuse #DifferentPaths

Really interesting hearing the difficult first hand experience of ethnic minority women who have run for election in Ireland. More support needed in terms of training, support and finance as well as a ‘nested quota’. Stronger hate laws key for stopping abuse. #DifferentPaths

Really important to hear the barriers for minoritised women engaging in electoral politics. @NTWFIRL @AkiDwA

For Traveller, Roma & Black women racialised identities carry specific penalties - all migrant women experience forms of racialised & racist abuse. Experiences of abuse include racism and sexism on & offline, sustained ‘in person’ racist & sexist harassment, abuse & intimidation
