At NWCI, we see the struggles affecting women in Ireland every day. Violence and sexual assault, childcare and elder care struggles, reproductive rights issues, inferior pay and treatment in the workplace and much more. We work, together with our members, to seek change in Ireland to ensure that men and women are treated equally and that the struggles that women have been facing cease to exist. We seek an Ireland where our daughters are not fighting the same fight in another twenty years.
