Please forgive me if my terms are not correct and let me know on twitter if i could have worded this submission open call better.
Our online journal, Beir Bua Journal, is open for subs from women, female identifying or trans. I want to amplify women’s voices and those who are minority.
The theme is – Women deserve to be safe at home.
There are a worring amount of instances where women do not feel safe in their own home; power dynamic, financially, isolation, caretaking, lack of opportunity, domestic abuse. Read some of the shocking statics on Women’s Aid.
