‘We are strong’ the #Strike4Repeal march is underway and it’s HUGE

Mar 8, 2017

#Strike4Repeal is taking place today, to mark International Women's Day.

Massive crowds have gathered on O'Connell Street to rally against our government's abortion laws.

Many women, men and children are marching in solidarity against the Eighth Amendment, and the views of the turnout on social media is giving us goosebumps.

Here's a round up of the sights, the signs and the people around Dublin today:
