GALWAY 8 March, 12 Noon gathering at Town Hall to
"Tie up the Town and parade the world’s dirty laundry" + celebrations with

for an annual paid holiday for women and for measuring and valuing unwaged work.

Women's action group at Galway University will ask crèches and sports
centres for free entry for women. They’re raising: lack of baby changing facilities
in toilets; lack of sanitation; women students having to hold down several part-time jobs
in order to stay at college; few places in the crèche and no free crèche for some; the
slowness of the student's union in setting up a women's section; action to deal with
sexist posters around the university and to deal with men who react violently or
offensively to teaching on women's issues. They will then join the midday downtown events. |
