UL Feminist Society

Here's our new diversity statement; just letting everyone know that we're here to encourage inclusivity, diversity, and representation. Take a read! 💛

Stand up for women and pregnant peoples reproductive rights and support evidence based reform following the legally mandated, independent abortion review.

Just 10% of GPs are reliving abortion serves as the threat of criminal sanctions hang over those offering them. In many cases it is not their 'conscience' that prevents them from performing termination services, it is the fear of a 14 year prison sentence.

Who would have thought that 8 years after the marriage equality referendum we would be seeing a rise in a homophobic attacks? Or that 8 years after the gender recognition act Fine Gael politicians would be scapegoating trans people to divert attention from the housing crisis?

Roe v Wade being overturned shows us what can happen if rights once won are not defended and a reactionary minority succeeds in rolling back progressive gains on equality.

A recent national womens council poll showed that 80% agree that no woman should have to travel abroad for abortion healthcare and 71% agree that abortion should not be criminalised. Yet some 775 people have been forced to travel since the legislation has been passed!

You banned trans women from participating and yet you include the trans flag here? Disgustingly performative. gcn.ie/irfu-backlash-…

Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have failed women since the inception of the state and continually failed to fight against gender-based violence and femicide. this is a capitulation of the far-right, he is not progressive or feminist, he's a right-wing ideologue

@anywaynigga @ULConfession more rampant education about fatphobia and eating disorders right? so glad we were thinking the same thing ☺️

Gender based violence is an epidemic. 249 women have died due to femicide between 1996 and now. Only 196 of those cases have been resolved. In almost all of murder-suicide cases the murder was the woman’s partner. Change starts here, please make it to this if you can!
