Missile is the mobile app entertaining and educating the young, creative feminists of today. We go wherever you do: on the bus, the train, to college or to work. Read our interviews with female entrepreneurs, learn about the curious history of the vagina or hop over to our community page to find like-minded people. Our community aims to connect creatives who wish to share their work, collaborate or seek advice.
Missile was founded by Mollie Marshall, a young journalist desperate to communicate feminist issues on one platform. It was created after years of watching a misogynistic world go by in which a new day brought another eye roll, another cat call, another inappropriate stare and another rape of a young woman. In the UK, 97% of women have been sexually harassed. It should not have taken the brutal murder of Sarah Everard for the government to recognise the widespread male violence against women, charged by sexism and inequality. Tackling injustice is at the core of feminism and is how we can create a safer and more accepting world for women.
While we combat sexism and dig down to its historical roots, we also want to celebrate the feminists making immense change to women's lives. We hope the stories you read on Missile inspire you to do the same.
