A Woman's Place Is in the World! A WOMAn’s plACE IS IN THE WORLD! Dublin Castle 20/02/2015 #Beijing20 A WOMAn’s plACE IS IN THE WORLD! The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission and the National Women’s Council of Ireland have organised this conference to highlight women’s rights and equality in Ireland and globally. It coincides with the United Nations Beijing +20 process, reviewing progress in achieving the goals of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action since 1995. The conference will explore key Government commitments and examine progress in advance of the Beijing +20 review process in March 2015. It is an opportunity to recognise improvements in women’s rights and equality, set out the challenges that remain and propose ways to overcome them. We see this conference as an important opportunity for cross-sectoral engagement, discussion, and reflection. We hope it will provide a legacy for future action to progress women’s rights and equality in Ireland and globally. BEIJING+20 PROCESS In 1995, 189 countries including Ireland came together in China for the 4th UN World Conference on Women. The Conference adopted the United Nations Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action which has 12 areas of critical concern. The Platform for Action is a visionary roadmap for the achievement of women’s human rights and empowerment throughout the world. Beijing+20 marks the 20th anniversary of the Platform. In March 2015, the UN Commission on the Status of Women will meet in New York to review progress on the Platform and the global achievement of women’s rights and equality. Ireland will be represented there. 12 AREAS OF CRITICAL CONCERN WOMEN AND THE ENVIRONMENT WOMEN IN POWER AND DECISION-MAKING THE GIRL CHILD WOMEN And the economy WOMEN AND POVERty VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF WOMEN INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN WOMEN AND HEALTH WOMEN AND THE MEDIA WOMEN AND ARMED CONFLICT 09:00 PaRTICIPANTS SEATED 11:15 PLENARY SESSION 1 FOR ARRIVAL OF WOMEN, POWER AND PRESIDENT OF IRELAND, DECISION MAKING MICHAEL D.

  • Interview with Mary Robinson*
    Volume 92 Number 877 March 2010 Interview with Mary Robinson* Mary Robinson, the first woman President of Ireland (1990–1997), former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (1997–2002), and current President of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, has spent most of her life as a human rights advocate. As an academic (Trinity College Law Faculty), legislator, and barrister, she has always sought to use law as an instrument for social change. The recipient of numerous honours and awards throughout the world, Mary Robinson is a member of The Elders, co-founder and former Chair of the Council of Women World Leaders, and Vice President of the Club of Madrid. She chairs the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) Board and the Fund for Global Human Rights and is Honorary President of Oxfam International, Patron of the International Community of Women Living with AIDS (ICW), and President of the International Commission of Jurists. In your experience of working with women in situations of conflict, how have you perceived the effect of conflict on them? Women often bear the brunt of coping with conflict. While I was serving as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, I heard firsthand accounts and grievous stories of the deliberate targeting of women, particularly for rape. Rape took on the character of a weapon. That’s why I was very pleased that the ICTY [International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia] found rape to be a war crime in the conflict in Bosnia. It is a war crime, and certainly a form of warfare.

  • 182 Chapter 12 Hibernia: Voices of Dissent, 1968–80 Brian Trench for at Least the Last Decade of Its Existence, Spanning the 1
    Chapter 12 Hibernia: voices of dissent, 1968–80 Brian Trench For at least the last decade of its existence, spanning the 1970s, Hibernia had a strong presence in Irish media as an independent, frequently dissenting voice. It provided a platform for a wider range of opinion than was represented in daily and weekly newspapers and in broadcasting. It was a springboard for young graduates into significant careers in journalism. It is often fondly remembered in anecdote but it has not been the subject of extended analysis or even of a personal memoir that offers a broader appraisal or account of its place in Irish media and society.1 In his history of Irish media, John Horgan offers a packed paragraph that recounts: [John] Mulcahy … turned it into a lively, irreverent and often well-informed magazine which specialised in an eclectic but highly marketable mix of political gossip and features, book reviews, and authoritative business and financial journalism. Its tone was crusading and investigative: by 1973 it was already carrying articles alleging conflicts of interest and possible corruption in relation to the activities of local politicians in the Greater Dublin area – an issue which resurfaced with dramatic effect, at the end of the 1990s.2 There are passing references in other works of history and reference, such as MacRedmond’s Modern Irish Lives, which refers to its ‘searching liberal critique of Irish society’ and Morash’s history of media, which describes Hibernia as ‘robustly critical … [and] … in some respects [setting] the agenda for the magazines that would follow it in the 1980s’.3 Journalists’ books covering the 1960s and 1970s, including those by Tim Pat Coogan, T.

For the first time since 1935, contraceptives could be imported, distributed and sold within Ireland.1 This legislation was enacted at a time when many European states had introduced far reaching reforms on matters of sexual morality. Britain had decriminalised homosexuality, legalised abortion and liberalised access by unmarried women to contraception. Consequently, ‘reproduction could be treated as entirely separate from and irrelevant to female sexual pleasure’.2 For Ireland, the changes in Catholic Europe were of particular significance. France legalised contraception in 1967 and abortion in 1975 (‘loi Veil’). The Italian parliament and electorate endorsed divorce and abortion despite opposition from the Catholic Church and the dominant Christian Democratic Party. Here, as in other predominantly Catholic societies, there is evidence for significant change in attitudes on complex moral issues.3 In the Netherlands, a conservative moral order was 1 Chrystel Hug, The Politics of Sexual Morality in Ireland (Houndmills, Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1999), 96-115; Unless otherwise indicated Ireland refers to the 26 counties that seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922 to establish the Irish Free State.

  • Learning from Our Mistakes: the Aftermath of the American Divorce Revolution As a Lesson in Law to the Republic of Ireland
    LEARNING FROM OUR MISTAKES: THE AFTERMATH OF THE AMERICAN DIVORCE REVOLUTION AS A LESSON IN LAW TO THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND This process of learning from each other is at least as old as our nations, and its role in our development as nations has been incalculably beneficial. I would say that this process of learning from each other, far from being over, is as vital now as it has been at any point in the past. INTRODUCTION On November 24, 1995, the people of the Republic of Ireland voted in favor of ending a fifty-eight-year-old constitutional ban on divorce.2 The vote to amend the nation's 1937 constitution in order to allow divorce was secured by the narrowest margin in any Irish referendum.3 Of the 1.6 million Irish citizens who voted on the referendum, 50.3 % voted to allow divorce, while 49.7% voted against lifting the prohibition then in place.4 As a result of the vote, Ireland will amend its constitution near the end of 1996, and the Irish Parliament will enact a formal divorce bill alongside the amendment.5 Ireland's new divorce laws "will be the most conservative in Europe. "6 The Fifteenth Amendment to the Irish Constitution will do more than simply remove the constitutional ban on divorce: it will provide "the actual ground rules for divorce in Ireland. "' Specifically, before granting a divorce, an 1. Mary Robinson, ConstitutionalShifts in Europe and the United States: Learning from Each Other, 32 STAN. J. INT'L L. 1, 5 (1996).
