12 months on: How has the Repeal the 8th campaign impacted you?

Over the course of the last 12 months, the nationwide campaign to repeal the 8th amendment has intensified massively.

From TwoWomenTravel, a Twitter thread documenting two Irish women's journey to the UK to seek abortions, to We Face This Landa short film highlighting the similarity between archaic laws of the past and the State's current reluctance to give Irish women ownership over their own bodies, Irish women are fighting to be heard.

And over the course of the last year, we watched thousands turn out for the 5th annual March for Choice on September 24.

We saw Dublin City Council pass an emergency motion to support the Strike 4 Repeal without debate.

We bore witness to thousands of men and women who marked International Women’s Day on Wednesday March 8 by protesting the nation’s 8th amendment.

On April 23, the Citizens’ Assembly voted to allow for abortion in all 13 circumstances; the same day that The Repeal Project released a short film which poignantly captured the emotions of those involved in the tireless fight against the 8th amendment.

With these monumental moments among many, many others punctuating the last 12 months in Ireland, we would like to know what the Repeal the 8th campaign means to you.

Whether for or against its repeal, you have an opinion on the events of the last year, and we want to hear it.
