IRELAND’S HUMAN RIGHTS RECORD: Women’s rights ‘are not respected here’

Ireland is eight years late in submitting a major report to the UN on tackling discrimination against women.

And an expert in human rights has responded to the delay by saying “the autonomy and bodily integrity of women” are not respected in Ireland.

The report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women was due in 2007 but has yet to be submitted.
