SIGBI confirms its decision to withdraw from the social media platform with immediate effect. In recent months, the site has shown a disregard for tolerance and accountability, and with an increase in abusive, racist and hateful posts. As an organisation which stands up for women and girls, we find the platform to be a place where abuse against women is not just tolerated but thrives and women can no longer post freely without fear in this increasingly toxic environment.
We will ensure our work and messages continue on other social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) and encourage all our members and clubs to confidently share their news where adequate safeguarding and protections exist.
