In 2018, the Irish electorate voted overwhelmingly to remove a constitutional ban on abortion. Human rights expert and legal scholar Fiona de Londras played a pivotal role in shaping the referendum and drafting model legislation to establish abortion access after the historic vote. However, the law that was subsequently introduced continues to impose significant limitations on access to abortion. In honor of International Women’s Day, join us for a conversation with Professor de Londras about the political and legal strategies that led to this enormous change; how and why Irish politicians continue to limit access and undermine reproductive agency; and the lessons Ireland’s experience offers to other countries grappling with abortion rights. Fiona de Londras, Professor of Global Legal Studies at Birmingham Law School, University of Birmingham and Honorary Professor at the Australian National University College of Law, is an advocate and scholar on reproductive justice. She was a leader in the movement to repeal Ireland’s abortion ban, helping to draft revised legislation and appearing in a number of key public debates on the issue. Dr. de Londras is the author, with Mairead Enright, of Repealing the 8th: Reforming Irish Abortion Law (2018; Policy Press).
