Vote Yes for a more compassionate divorce process

Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2019

NWCI is calling for a Yes vote in the upcoming referendum on divorce so that we can create a more compassionate divorce process for people who need it. 

To raise awareness about the referendum and why we are supporting a yes vote, NWCI hosted a members meeting in early May. Speakers included Karen Kiernan, One Family, Louise Crowley, UCC  and Ellen O'Malley Dunlop, Chairperson of NWCI who talked about the positive impact a yes vote would have on families going through the divorce process. NWCI also collaborated with a number of civil society organisations. We issued a joint press release and held a joint photocall. 

NWCI has also prepared a leaflet and will be distributing some of the leaflets as part of a visibility canvassing initaitive at local transport hubs over the next few days.
