Women’s group aims to shame Government

A GROUP of Irish women is determined to embarrass the Government over its poor record on women’s rights at the United Nations headquarters in New York later this month.

And the delegation, who will make their case to the UN on Monday July 11, will also be making sure that the Government cannot put a gloss on the situation when they get their chance to respond.

During cross-examination by the UN committee, the women will be able to forward written questions to members to ensure that Government representatives are given a good grilling.
