🔎Today IPRT is hosting an event launching our new report - Maternal Imprisonment in Ireland: A Scoping Study.
👩👧👦The report examines the experiences of mothers imprisoned in Ireland & of their children, and makes recommendations to reduce the harm caused.
#MaternalImprisonment
As the #NursingHome & #Disability Allowances Scandals show -Disabled Citizens & Our Elderly are not just Discriminated Against by the State & Government -They are actually Targeted by the State -Having their Rights Violated & Suppressed - Not ‘Sound Strategy’ - Its Reprehensible
"There's an acceptance of mistreatment."
@TomClonan speaks to @MiriamOCal about the delays people with disabilities are experiencing in accessing services and essential repairs.

"People should express their anger over homelessness, but not at those who are vulnerable, like refugees & migrants, focus on government, who have a responsibility to change this & whose policies are causing it"

On @SixOClockShow
Today we remember Ashling Murphy and the 15 women who have been killed on this island since her death.
#ViolenceAgainstWomen is an epidemic. NWC will continue to campaign for an end to all its forms in memory of these women, and all who were killed before them 🖤
Refugees and migrants didn’t cause the housing crisis. It was Governments that abandoned social housing, that failed to build homes, community and transport infrastructure in disadvantaged areas and across the country

Yesterday was hugely emotional
Hearing the multiple stories of how the housing crisis is destroying peoples lives
I was angry, upset
But also filled with hope by so many people standing up
We all should be
We have to #RaiseTheRoof in every city town village across this country
Up to 20,000 people marched yesterday demanding #HomesForAll
This housing crisis is a real consequence of FF/FG policies that won’t freeze rents, refuse to build enough social housing and do little to tackle dereliction and vacancy.
It’s time for change. #RaiseTheRoof
