Violent incidents in cities often impact women’s right to make choices about their own lives. We need a new imagination of our cities that embraces diversity and prioritises care

The artistic gymnastics at the #ParisOlympics2024 provides much needed solace, not only for the amazing displays but also the camaraderie among the contestants supporting and cheering each other. #SimoneBiles was exquisite and her resilience inspiring.
