The Unmanageables Celebrate International Womens Day

International Women's Day


"Oh it's international Women's Day and so many issues have been co-opted and the
'F' word is become a dirty word for some people, what shall we do?"

We decided that the source of a lot of our bad legislation which mitigates
against women and children, especially the Criminal Law (sexual Offences) Bill
2006, emanted from the Offices of the Tanaiste and Minister for Justice,
Michael Mc Dowell.

We decided, therefore to 'unmanage' him.
8th March 07
8th March 07


We went to the Luas which overshadows his property and dropped a banner off the bridge
and greeted morning workers with little hand-made dolls. The kindly security staff
(6 of them) came and we had a chat, there were two women and they should
have had the day off.

We symbolically blocked his Minister Mc Dowell's driveway.

The we did an RTS and held the banner across the Ranelagh road, a lot of beeping
and cheers, the cops even came for a chat, took some notes and went away!

The issues of gender imbalance in the legislature and bad law will only be
addressed and alleivated with more women in positions to take on these problems.
Ireland has 13% women representation in the Dail and we think it could be improved
an awful lot.

We can raise awareness of this by encoraging people to actually think about issues
relevant to women voters when they put their little 'X' in the box.

There are many worthwhile protests today- some announced and some not
so come out and support them, the photos are on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
