Sheffield Feminist Network 
Hello. I am fairly sure a football fans’ forum isn’t the kind of organisation that would make it onto the list above but I’d simply like to express our support for feminism, in Sheffield and also internationally, and to wish success to everyone involved in the network.
I am a brazilian citizen and I’d like to shout out about a coup that is happening here in Brazil, our president, Dilma Roussef, elected by the people will be throw out by Congressmen, men that in majority are under criminal investigations, while she isn’t.
They are throwing her out due to a supposed budgetary mislead.
Last week, at UN, she was told by these congressmen not to talk about the coup at the UN plenarium and the main brazilian media that are supporting the coup told these guidelines openly at the news.
In order to maitain the shut up order at the ceremony to mark the passage of the landmark agreement on climate change, many of these men follow her at the United Nations.
At the end these men SHUT UP our first female President, she told nothing about the coup at UN.
WTF! 2016, at UN! Our first woman President is followed and shut up by these men, are we at 2016? It’s an absurd, the free world has to do something about it.

Google translation:
“The House of Representatives authorized the trip to New York MPs José Carlos Aleluia (DEM-BA) and Luiz Freitas Filho (PSB-SP) to act as ‘observers’ participation, on Friday (22), President Dilma Rousseff in ceremony of the United Nations (UN), which will be signed agreement drawn up last year in Paris, on climate change.”
Thank you for your post highlighting this important matter. Here is a link to an organisation based in London, who may be able to provide some guidance/ support on behalf of Dilma and The Workers Party. http://www.lawrs.org.uk/en/contact/
