Women want Government to tackle abortion, violence, and childcare

Domestic and sexual violence, abortion, and affordable childcare top the list of issues women feel the Government must tackle this year.

According to a survey by the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) for Nollaig na mBan or Women’s Little Christmas, issues such as women workers rights, redress for victims of institutional abuse and more women in senior decision-making positions are also to the forefront of women’s minds in 2015.

Ensuring that the voices of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable women are being heard and the need for more investment for training and education for young women also featured prominently in the study.
