Mary White refers to International Women's Day
In her introduction to the party leader's address, the Green Party's Mary White made reference to International Women's Day and to women who are being persecuted in various countries.
She made no mention however of the Nigerian women deported in February and last December by the Fianna Fail/ Green Party government.
Their crime-seeking a better life in Ireland.
Would love to do the walk, looks and sounds great, relevant, educational, social and fun. A way to enable more bolder steps for women and supporting men to make a better world. I hope you all have a fresh dry sunny day in Dublin.
I remember my 2 grannies especially today, both independant strong women, 1 a west clare farmer who loved family and the earth with whom I messed, played, danced and laughed. The other a rebel Cork woman, socialist, Gaeilge activist, educator who worked for and with the Sheriff St community for all her working life, who took my to kilmaynhem as a nipper, who taught me the difficult word ag spaisdoireacht (wandering).
Regards from Barcelona, where our Latin American compañeras remember a women who has done much and still does much to assist in the struggle for a better world, the Argentinian folk singer and political activist, Mercedes Sosa, I embed her 2 most famous tunes here for ye.

Thanks RAG bot, for that vid from last year, my compañeras from Galicia and Peru watched it before "Toda la Vida". We engaged in a good talk, then I cooked a nice omellette for my friends, leaving them space to chat themselves.

What happened on International Women's Day ?
Simple answer is that 95% of the worlds women followed their normal routine and WORKED not being allowed the luxury to do anything else.
Most of them being unaware of the speciality of the day, some even in Ireland are ignorant of the fact that the world's women only own 5% of the worlds wealth.
