NWC, Dublin Arts & Human Rights Festival Programme: A Constitution That Reflects Our Values - Wednesday 18 October @10am, Pump House, Dublin Port

A Constitution That Reflects Our Values

What would it mean to enshrine the value of care into our Constitution? What does valuing care mean in practice?

The upcoming referendum on family, care and gender equality, now scheduled to take place in early 2024, is a unique opportunity to have a national conversation about the values we want to see reflected in our Constitution. 

Join us on 18 October at the Pump House, Dublin Port as we explore these values and discuss the proposed changes to Article 41.2.

Speakers will include:

• Dr Ursula Barry, Feminist economist based in UCD with focus on the care economy, gender equality policies in Ireland and the EU
• Don Samaratunga, Healthcare Assistant working in elder care and member of SIPTU's Care Sector and Migrant Worker Network
• Rachel Coyle, Head of Campaigns and Mobilisiation at the National Women's Council

The event will be chaired by Margaret Martin, Chairperson of NWC.
