In this moving documentary, women who survived illegal abortion, the nurses who picked up the pieces when things went wrong, campaigning doctors and abortion rights advocates share vivid memories of the time, and bring to life the story of this ground-breaking legislation and of a historic turning point for women’s rights.

#IWDNI18

This is a solidarity action for our sisters and others in the 26 counties where the 8th Amendment still creates a huge barrier to reproductive healthcare, including abortion care and also to full autonomy during pregnancy.

As a member of the Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment, Alliance for Choice in Belfast supports this action and call for change.

Join us at Array Studios to make banners for the International Women’s Day March on Saturday 10th March.
!PUT THOUGHTS INTO ACTION!
!MAKE YOUR MARK!
We will be making aprons, banners and sandwich boards with slogans old and new. Materials will be provided and we will help you construct your own.
There will also be some wine, snacks and powerful playlists! 
Feel free to BYO too!
EVERYBODY WELCOME! 
This event is delivered in partnership with Alliance for Choice and Reclaim the Agenda.

This panel discussion will focus on the impact of a successful Repeal referendum on Northern Ireland

Come and celebrate all the progress made this past year and toast to our future.
Alliance for Choice have loads of ways you can get involved with us, so come along and see how you can make a difference.

This is an invitation for you and your friends to be part of the Alliance for Choice SpeakOut if you have had an abortion experience or to pass on to someone who might want to take part.

As co-hosts of the My Body My Life exhibition we will create a space especially for you in UNIQUE, at the Belfast Ulster University Campus on Friday 8th December from 6.30pm – 8.30pm. Refreshments (tea/coffee and wine) and snacks will be provided. Only invitees will be attending and details of the event will not be advertised.

We’re having the party of the half-century and you’re all invited! Come down to the Rich Mix, Shoreditch on 28th October 2017to celebrate the 50th birthday of the 1967 Abortion Act.

With an action-packed program, we’re bringing activists, journalists, politicians & performers together to celebrate the legacy of the life-saving 1967 Abortion Act, that dragged abortion out of the dangerous backstreet. Bring your pro-choice pals and get to know abortion activism past, present, and future.

Belfast's second march from Rally for Choice will take place on Saturday the 14th of October assembling at Buoy Park at 2pm before taking off for a march through the city centre to demand abortion rights.

On the 8th of March we are urging you not to go to work; take annual leave, call in sick, if you own a business give your workers the day off (at no cost to them). If you can't take the day off, which is to be expected in the current climate of precarious work, then consider walking out at 12 to join us for a lunchtime demonstration at City Hall. We are calling on those participating, whether physically or virtually, to wear black in support and solidarity with us.

This action is in solidarity with all who have had to take the day off work to have an illegal abortion in their home, or who have had to fly elsewhere for a procedure they should be able to get at hoome. It is in solidarity with those that the state refuses to care for.

Right folks, we have a meeting coming up soon, Saturday 18th Feb 2pm in the Hive

If anyone has anything to chip in about volunteering with Belfast Feminist Networ or Alliance for Choic make sure you come along.

TRAPPED by Dawn Porter, follows the struggles of the clinic workers and lawyers fighting to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of American women, many of them poor and uninsured.

Filmmaker and activist Treasa O’Brien is coming to Belfast to teach us how to make films! If you’re a budding or fully-fledged feminist activist who would like to learn more about making films for your cause, please apply. Activists often work under pressure without a budget, time or fancy equipment. This is a great opportunity to gain skills and knowledge from an innovative and inspiring filmmaker.

FREE EVENT
Chaired by Emma Campbell from Alliance For Choice, the panel will include filmmakers whose work, documentary and narrative, reflects issues that affect women in the world today. We ask how film can be a form of feminist activism and what drives these filmmakers to tell women's stories.

Placard making for the Rise and Repeal March for Choice, Dublin September 2016

We have more to do! 
We need volunteers for all sorts of things - from festival bar work to stall work to social media.

Bring all your friends who trust women too!

Legalise not criminalise!

Chairperson Kellie O'Dowd said, "our current legislation and lack of guidelines leaves thousands of women in Northern Ireland with no other option but to buy pills from the internet. We firmly believe that this woman should have been able to access safe and legal abortion and be cared for by medical practitioners here in Northern Ireland. We previously published a letter with over 200 signatories admitting to procuring or self-administering the early medical abortion pill, so why has this woman been singled out for prosecution?"

Our campaign will keep the issue of abortion firmly on the political agenda in the run up to the May 2016 Stormont elections.

Based on research funded by the British Academy on political discourse on abortion in Northern Ireland, Dr Fiona Bloomer and Dr Claire Pierson of Ulster University challenge the common assumption that religion is fundamentally opposed to abortion. This will be done by providing comparative historical and contemporary examples of religious perspectives on abortion. 

Following the landmark decision on November 30th in Belfast High Court, finding that the current laws governing abortion in Northern Ireland breach human rights, Alliance for Choice and Amnesty International will discuss the current situation for women in NI in terms of reproductive healthcare.
