NWCI Submission to Seanad Public Consultation Committee on Travellers

Published: Friday, July 12, 2019

NWCI made a submission as part of the Seanad Public Consultation on Travellers Towards a more equitable Ireland post recognition.  The official recognition of Travellers’ ethnic status should enable the Government to introduce gender specific objectives, targets, activities, indicators, timeframes and adequate human and financial resources for the social inclusion of Traveller and Roma women in all policy areas.

We support and endorse the recommendations put forward by the Irish Traveller Movement and the National Traveller Womens Forum. 

Traveller representatives made history on the 9th July giving the first ever presentation to Seanad Eireann.
