As debate surrounding the 8th amendment continues to rage, a host of Irish women have taken part in a short film created by the Repeal Project – the impact of which can be seen on Twitter this morning.

Directed by Dave Tynan and featuring a poem written by Irish writer, Sarah Maria Griffin, more than 30 Irish women including Aoibhinn McGinnity, Senator Lynn Ruane and Roisín Ingle can be seen wading into the sea as they call for a repeal of the 8th.

Highlighting the similarity between archaic laws of the past and the State's current reluctance to give Irish women ownership over their own bodies, We Face This Land drives home the need for change, and social media users, including Marian Keyes and David O'Donherty, have taken to Twitter in their droves to commend all those involved.
