Real change happens when support meets lived experience. Our latest evaluation shows our community-led programmes work, supporting women to overcome long-standing barriers and move forward with confidence. In Northern Ireland, these barriers still disproportionately affect women’s access to work and education. Yet another reason why #NICantWait. 🔗 womenbreakingbarriersni.com More on the campaign: nicva.org @NICVA @nirwnnews @ReclaimAgenda @WSN_NI @WRDA_team @UKgovcomms
