Where is 'a woman's place' in Ireland today?
Manage episode 413987401 series 1897284
Earlier this year, on International Women's Day, the Irish electorate was asked to vote in two referendums on changing Ireland's constitution regarding family and care.
One of those questions was whether they wished to remove a reference to the role of women in the home, which some view as being out-of-step with modern Irish society.
A lot has changed since the constitution was written in 1937. Ireland is now among the highest-ranking countries in Europe for gender equality. However, in both referendums, voters rejected the bid for constitutional change.
In this programme, Leanna Byrne travels back to her home city of Dublin to explore Ireland's story when it comes to women, the family and work; speaking to Irish women about their experiences over the decades to now.
