Although women are getting involved JOE.ie are asking men to support the women in their lives by taking a selfie, sharing it, nominating 3 others and texting FEEL to 50300
A bevvy of Irish female stars and celebrities have got involved including Sinead Desmond, Norah Casey, Emma Hannigan, Cathy O’Connor, Vivienne Connolly, Lynn Kelly (pic below), Roz Purcell, and Courtney Smith.
