Strange response.
Proud of the work on such issues by women on gov’t benches. @HMcEntee’s work on gender-based violence. @ReginaDo and @lichamber on victim supports, and maternity care. @CarrollJennifer legislating for remote voting. @EmerHigginsTD on equal boardrooms. And more.
I do find it strange that there are no govt females.The work done by women in the all Govt parties is making real changes.I find it shocking that @NWCI ignore this.Are we women too? We are working & actually getting results-does this count?why is this org coming across antigovt?
Our current relationship and sexual education curriculum requires urgent updating to be brought into the 21st century and turn the tide against sexual and gender-based violence once and for all.

“All gays are HIV positive.”
These problematic RSE materials were raised with me 6 months ago by Guidance Counsellor @pamelora. I’m glad to see its removal however there’s still so much work to do on our relationship and sexual education. #RSE

I was delighted to contribute this article for @businessposthq on RSE in schools.
In a survey conducted by the ISSU, 1 in 3 students said they did not receive any health education.
These numbers are shocking & highlight the need for reform.

I do agree that it’s not ideal that only the contraceptive pill was included but if you look back at Ireland’s relationship with sex, yesterday’s announcement that the Government is funding free contraception for teenagers is a pretty historic step in the right direction (2/2)
For anyone who is complaining about free contraceptive pills for females aged 17-25 being included in #Budget2022 the HSE has a National Condom Distribution Service. Here’s a list of places/postal services where anyone over 17 can access free condoms https://t.co/CN1Uqi985C (1/2)
As a criminal barrister, I have dealt with many sexual harassment cases, many of which are borne out of ignorance.
The @NetflixUK series #SexEducation explores real situations faced by young people in a refreshingly open way. I spoke about one particular episode in the #Seanad:
Great news as Irish Boxing returns:

Ireland is a member of the UN Security Council.
Ireland needs to condemn the Taliban’s occupation of Afghanistan, speak out in defence of human rights and democracy, and offer support to the refugees who will begin to flee the region.
