Nollaig na mBan 2019

Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2019

For Nollaig na mBan this year, NWCI's Director Orla O'Connor wrote an opinion piece in the Irish Times, marking 100 years since the First Dail. In the piece, she outlined why in 2019, to achieve the ideals of the first Dáil and a real republic for women, we need to make progress on the unequal involvement of men and women in domestic activities and care.

The op-ed highlighted how in Ireland, care still falls predominantly to women. Orla argued that equality for women and men in the public sphere depends on equality in the private sphere, and outlined how the unequal involvement of men and women in care and domestic activities is a persistent challenge.
