The National Women's Council of Ireland will provide a listing of Irish IWD events - though this year's events aren't listed at the time of writing. http://www.nwci.ie/our_work/political_equality/internat...s_day
The tour will be an informative and entertaining take on women's history in Ireland - from the Brehon Laws, through women's role in the early formation of the state, labour movements, the resurgence of feminism in the 1970's, the movement against domestic/sexual violence, and the continuing struggle for reproductive rights. There will be a particular emphasis on the contemporary women's movement in its many guises and acknowledging the challenges facing all women, particularly those experiencing poverty or exclusion and women from minority ethnic communities.
An information booklet/map will be provided on the day (and an activity sheet to keep the younger feminists amused!)
The tour will be followed by a social event in the evening with music and fun!
For more information/ to help out, email feministwalkingtour@yahoo.ie

Organised by members of Choice Ireland in association with the RAG collective and other women's/feminist groups and individuals.
Great idea - there's not so many female landmarks around Dublin! Save Molly's statue. Tits glorious tits. All we're good for after all....
I look forward to this!

Is there any further information on this event, i.e. an itinerary for the day?
I don't want to turn up for it to be a load of anarcho feminists churning out a feminism that is a bit too far out for me.

join in and do a 'bit', it sounds like fun- but important not to be a sheep. In other words
if you have ideas for the day contribute them and help out in some way.
Never Fear. Choice Ireland are a diverse group of activists from all political backgrounds, united by feminist principles. RAG are a publishing collective. Together, and in association with other feminists of all persuasions we are organising the walking tour and putting together the booklet. The tour will be as it says above, informative, historical as well as contemporary, and fun. There is a route, but we don't intend to publish it beforehand (not to spoil the fun ;-) Not sure what your ideas about anarcho-feminism are exactly - but the anarchist tendencies of some of the organisers translate into non-hierarchy/ non-profit making and a wish to be inclusive. Not to preaching any doctrine you might imagine we have! The tour will run with an MC on the day to tell the stories and keep it all together (who is a feminist but not an anarchist). There won't be a great deal of time for everyone to add in their two cents on the tour, nor will we get to cover everything, but it's a start, and a celebration. There is a get-together/ refreshments/ music after it and time to share experience/ideas. And don't worry, you can leave at any time!
My dear fellow feminists in Ireland, I feel so jealous! Will try and find some women if they will agree to such celebration in Malaysia here. Although the sexist and male-dominated police and ruling class will probably try to prevent it! The problem in Malaysia is that we need police permit for any protest and will arrest us if we disobey; coward jerks and ******. Kangaroo democracy we have here in Malaysia!
Looking forward to this, sounds great.
the after-event will take place from 5 and will include soup (for hungry walkers!), film screening, information table/RAG distro and music from Heathers www.myspace.com/heatherswhatsyourdamage
if anyone is interested but can't make the day, email us for copies of the (beautiful, informative and free!) booklet - pdf or hard copy
