Don't make me ask again, what are you guys getting me? I like ponies, fancy paper, knitting and bras.


Anyone doing anything awesome on Saturday?



Some reminders as to why we still need it here- (NWCI)

· Ireland has only a 13% representation of women in the Dáil (Parliament) a level of representation on par with that of Sub-Saharan Africa

· 30 years after the introduction of equal pay legislation there still exists a pay difference of 15% - women earn on average 15% less than men

· 1 in 5 Irish women are subject to physical, sexual or psychological abuse during their lifetime by a partner, husband, family member or acquaintance

· Abortion is illegal in Ireland except to save the life of the mother. Women have a right to travel to other countries for an abortion but 2 referenda in the last 10 years have tried to reverse these limited rights.


Here's some links.... post more!
