#FeministsAreEverywhere is taking over Twitter for an amazing reason
Hundreds of women are taking to Twitter today to delve into the reasons why they choose to proudly wear the label of a feminist.
The #FeministsAreEverywhere hashtag is trending in Ireland this morning, ahead of the Women's Council of Ireland's Feminists are everywhere AGM.
Sometimes, we are found running through the rain for a cause. Like the right to bodily autonomy. #FeministsAreEverywhere #Wet4Repeal pic.twitter.com/MNsDqiXCB2

Women (and their male allies) are taking to Twitter in their droves, citing the gender pay gap, abortion rights and social equality as the catalysts that make them proud to call themselves feminists.
'Feminists are everywhere will feature feminists in a range of areas and sectors, including feminist leaders in advocacy and campaigning, the media, in business and in the community,' reads the Women's Council of Ireland event description.
'Speakers will discuss the challenges women still face in order to become leaders and outline what needs to happen to make Ireland a more equal society.'

Why am I a feminist? Because when you start seeing gender inequality you can't stop. But you want IT to stop. #FeministsAreEverywhere

#FeministsAreEverywhere because of this response. At 14, your legs should be yours to run with, not someone elses to ogle and leer over. pic.twitter.com/8eeUnfiMzB

I'm a feminist, raising two boys so that the idea of equality of the sexes comes to them as easy as breathing #FeministsAreEverywhere

I'm a feminist because as a football fan I shouldn't be belittled to 'You must fancy that player'. #FeministsAreEverywhere

Why am I a feminist? Because I want equality and autonomy. I want to choose and make decisions for myself. #FeministsAreEverywhere
