Abortion stigma continues to restrict access & force people into unsafe conditions in Ireland & abroad.
We reiterate our call on government to reduce barriers and lessen shame and stigma by implementing recommendations from the Abortion Review so women receive the care with dignity & compassion.
Social prescribing connects people with community supports that can improve wellbeing. From walk & talk groups to peer support, creative activities & more, it focuses on what matters to the person.

Our thoughts are with the loved ones of Amy Doherty, a young mother whose life was taken in Derry on Saturday
There are no words that can capture the depth of this loss or the pain felt by those who knew & loved her
We stand in solidarity with Amy’s family & community at this difficult time
#FeministClimateJustice starts with people
It’s about the realities people face every day. From how we live/work to how communities experience inequality
If we want meaningful change we must centre lived experience & ensure communities shape decisions that impact them
