A huge thank you to Samantha from The Rainbow Project The Rainbow Project Cancer Champions Team for taking the time to meet with the WOW Group this week.

It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss the support and services available, and learn more about the valuable work being done to support those affected by cancer. We really appreciate Samantha’s time, knowledge, and for facilitating such an informative discussion. Thank you for sharing your expertise with our group!

This evenings conversation at Féile an Phobail made one thing clear: LGBTQIA+ women can no longer be an afterthought in discussions about healthcare or constitutional change.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our event exploring LGBTQIA+ women’s health needs in a new Ireland. We’re incredibly grateful to our outstanding panellists for challenging, inspiring and informing the discussion, and to the Féile team for their warm welcome and ongoing commitment to creating space for these important conversations.

The experiences shared and the feedback we received reinforce why this work matters. Equality cannot exist without equitable healthcare, and any vision of a new Ireland must include the voices, needs and rights of LGBTQIA+ women.

This conversation doesn’t end here. We’ll take what we heard, build it into our advocacy, and continue pushing for meaningful change that delivers inclusive, accessible and equitable healthcare for all.
