On March 5th at 12pm The National Women’s Council (NWC) will hold a rally outside the Dáil to call for political leadership and action on equality for women.
The ASTI and the other teaching unions will be in attendance and we urge our members to attend. To join us, look out for the yellow ASTI banners.
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.
Jason Poole, ASTI activist and brother of Jennifer Poole, will speak at the rally on the theme of men’s violence against women. Find more information or register your interest here.
