Completely unacceptable. We called for Child Benefit to be extended to children in direct provision in the recent budget, to make it a truly universal payment. Extremely disappointing that government continues to leaves these children and families behind Children's Rights Alliance Department of Social Protection https://lght.ly/g4oc5ni

12 years ago today, Savita Halappanavar was denied an abortion that could have saved her life. While we've made significant strides for reproductive rights in Ireland since her passing, there is still much work to be done. 👉Too many women still struggle to access abortion in Ireland and are forced to travel abroad. 👉Too many are impacted by the restrictive 12-week limit and the mandatory 3-day waiting period. 👉Too many in rural areas face delays and long journeys due to limited GP participation. 👉Too many fear stigma and judgment when seeking care. 👉Too many find hospital capacity and expertise lacking, especially beyond 9 weeks. We need: ⚡Full decriminalisation for doctors and medical professionals. ⚡An end to the postcode lottery and ensure equal access nationwide. ⚡An end to the unnecessary mandatory 3-day wait ⚡Review the arbitrary 12-week limit Today, we remember Savita. #NeverAgain #WomensHealth #AbortionAccess

UN-verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence also increased by 50%. Women continue to pay the price of war, whilst also being excluded from conflict-resolution. Less than 10% of peace negotiators across 50 countries are women. Israel's ongoing violence in Palestine and Lebanon is an ongoing threat to women's safety - our government must pass the Occupied Territories Bill without further delay https://lght.ly/k9ge1a1
