“Another six months could cause untold damage for people who don’t know where to go for help.” The delayed national endometriosis framework is criticised for leaving many women without clear paths to diagnosis or treatment, highlighting a troubling lack of urgency for this widespread women’s health issue. https://lght.ly/f0lmlbo

🎄This Christmas, let’s prioritise women’s mental health. 💜While Christmas is a magical time for many, it can also be deeply challenging for those struggling with their mental health. As the new Dáil begins, and with the development of the next Programme for Government underway, now is the time to deliver gender-sensitive mental health services that meet the unique needs of women and girls in all their diversity. Key actions for the new Government include: 👉Fast-tracking the establishment of a Mother and Baby Mental Health Unit and expanding perinatal mental health supports across primary, community, and specialist services. 👉Fully implementing the Women’s Health Action Plan and its mental health commitments 👉Delivering on Sharing the Vision, through a gender sensitive lens 👉Increasing mental health funding to 10% of the health budget and reinstating national mental health leadership in the HSE to drive change 🗣️Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have made clear promises on women’s mental health—now it’s time to deliver. 🎄This Christmas, women deserve more than promises. We deserve action. It’s time to deliver a mental health system that truly supports us. #MentalHealth #WomensHealth #SharingTheVision @Department of Health - Ireland @Michael martin @simon harris @health service executive

⬛Our hearts are sore this morning, as another woman is killed in her own home, the place she should be safest. 💜Our deepest sympathies go to Paula Lawlor's family and loved ones, especially her young daughter, at this devastating time. ❌This cannot continue. Women must be able to live our lives without fear of violence and abuse. This is a clarion call to our leaders to #EndVAW now.
