An end to the 12-week gestational limit on abortions in Ireland is among the recommendations from a National Women’s Council report on reproductive health.
Teaching about child sexual abuse could help prevent such abuse, the report also recommends, in addition to calling for a focus in school on the harms of pornography, abuse by partners, and gender stereotypes.
