#IrishBroadLeft has committed to gender-equal publishing. For Feb 2019, 62% of articles were written by women. The lesson? It's really not that hard to achieve #genderequality in progressive publications. See our February statistics here:

One Bloody Sunday March the ‘extend the act’ banner was met with glares from around us. ‘What does abortion have to do with Bloody Sunday?’ people asked. Well, the British Govts denial of rights to those who wish to end a pregnancy is a huge injustice & one that must be fought.

More confirmation for what we already knew. . . Seems like FG never even had the slightest intention to attempt to reach our 2020 climate targets. Easier to pay a fine than to challenge the vested interests of course.
