Ep 292 Disabled Women Ireland / Caroline Criado Perez

March 21, 2019

On today's show Kathy meets Maria Ní Fhlartharta and Róisín Ní Hacéid – two disabled women under the age of 30 and members of Disabled Women Ireland. The organisation was founded in May 2018, partly out of a frustration with the voices of disabled people not being heard in the debate around the referendum to repeal the 8th amendment. Maria and Róisín tell Kathy what Disable Women Ireland are about, what they hope to achieve and getting down to the "nitty gritty", one year into their campaign

Later: Irish Times tech journalist Ciara O’Brien speaks to feminist activist and author Caroline Criado Perez about her book Invisible Women.
