A vital strategic perspective on next steps from @eilis_barry of @flacireland - untangling the web of values, politics and the law to chart a necessary way forward. Failed referendums can be the starting point for real reform irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…
@liamherrick @ailbhes @eilis_barry Excellent piece @eilis_barry
This is really excellent analysis by @eilis_barry of the referendums and the necessary next steps. Failed referendums can be the starting point for real reform – The Irish Times irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…
“There must in future be as much clarity as possible around the rationale for any amendments and their intended effects. Above all, we must ensure that values, political aims and legal wording coalesce to deliver meaningful change.” @eilis_barry BCL '82 x.com/flacireland/st…
“What we have learned from the referendums can be used as the starting point for creating law reform programmes that aim to achieve substantive change for families, carers and people with disabilities.” - @eilis_barry (FLAC CE) in today’s @IrishTimes irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…
"The outcomes of the referendums were, in some part, an expression of the unmet demand for clear rights-based reforms and for enforceable social rights that impose meaningful obligations on the State." Excellent piece from @eilis_barry @flacireland irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…
100% @flacireland - access to justice is key👏 As @TheElders wrote in 2022: "The rule of law should be an emancipatory, empowering principle that helps women in their fight for equality & justice. Yet in practice, often the reverse is true..." 🔗theelders.org/sites/default/… #IWD2024
Happy #IWD2024 to our staff, volunteers, sister organisations and the legal community. #AccessToJustice is vital to achieve inclusive gender equality. Through all our services, including Traveller, Roma and LGBTQI legal clinics, we continue to fight for the rights of all women!
