#FeministAgenda: AGM morning event discusses priorities for women’s equality

Published: Tuesday, October 18, 2016

What should be part of our #FeministAgenda over the next four years? This was the topic of NWCI's AGM morning event that brought together almost 100 members and friends on the 9th September. At the event, Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality, Frances Fitzgerald TD officially launched NWCI's new Strategic Plan 'Driving Women's Equality'. This was followed by an inspiring panel discussion with Dr Ciara Kelly, GP and Columnist, Sinéad Burke, aka Minnie Melange, Researcher and Writer and Lynn Ruane, Independent Senator. The discussion was chaired by Kitty Holland from the Irish Times.

The need to repeal the 8th amendment and to include women from disadvantaged backgrounds in the conversation around Ireland's feminist agenda were the two themes that were particularly highlighted during the debate.
