The National Women’s Council has organised a large-scale rally for political leadership and action on the critical issues that face women for this International Women’s Day.
The rally entitled #NoWomanLeftBehind will take place outside the Dáil (Kildare St entrance) this Saturday, 5th March at 12pm.
The key demands of the rally are as follows:
- a zero-tolerance culture to end men’s violence against women;
- women’s representation in all our diversity in all spaces where decisions are made affecting women’s lives;
- access to quality public services including childcare, housing, and a decent income on which we all can live;
- a healthcare system that has women at its centre – including access to abortion, ownership of the National Maternity Hospital, and free contraception.
We urge all TUI members who can attend to support this vitally important event.
