Date:

Some great news for International Womens Day. The students of NUI Galway have voted Yes in a pro-choice referendum by close to a massive 70%. The wording (below) was very clear and included a mandate for action. Well done to all who campaigned in this referendum.

That NUI Galway Students' Union adopt a Pro-Choice position, in support of the national campaign for full reproductive rights, which includes a woman's right to abortion, whether elective or medically necessary.

Furthermore, the Students' Union will use every available measure to realise these rights on campus and nationally.
