Following the successful referendum to remove the 8th amendment from the Irish constitution, Ireland has become a beacon of hope for women in other parts of the work where abortions are prohibited or allowed in very specific cases, which means that women are too often forced to risk their lives and health as they undertake unsafe procedures in unsanitary conditions, often resulting in infection, permanent reproductive health disabilities and death. The programme will examine the current situation in Ireland and how the legalisation of abortion has inspired other women organisations working on reproductive health in Mexico.
