Women’s Rights
We won’t wait! Abortion rights now!

International Women’s Day – Build mass action for abortion rights, against inequality and sexism
International Women’s Day this year must be a massive protest, bringing together working-class people, activist groups and trade unions to win the right to choose.

It’s Time for Choice – Westminster Must Act Now

We must mobilise to ensure that the government allots the bill time and allows it to progress to the next stage where it can become law. We must make it clear that a majority in Northern Ireland, across the community divide, support decriminalisation. The trade unions must also stand in solidarity and bring the collective power of workers to bear in this fight, and in the struggle for marriage equality.
