I also spoke to Cardiff’s politics netball society, who hosted a charity netball tournament for International Women’s Day, about what the day means to them as a society. They responded that ‘International Women’s Day for us as a sports society is about embracing the amazing women around us and empowering each other and lifting one another up’. The charity netball tournament, which featured over 20 netball teams, was hosted to raise money for Cardiff’s Women Aid, a charity dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence and with the aim to eradicate domestic and sexual violence. A spokesperson for Cardiff’s politics netball society stated that this charity and its aims resonated with them as a mostly female society. They stated that ‘These victims are someone’s mother, daughter, sister, best-friend or loved one, and this really hits home. It’s vital to fundraise for charities like Cardiff’s Women’s Aid as they do invaluable work helping these women escape from situations which could otherwise prove fatal’.
