A day in the life of a woman striking 4 repeal
I'll get up at...
Probably between 6am and 6.30am
And then I...
Will shower and get dressed, have a quick breakfast (coffee, probably). If I were at home, I'd make breakfast (coffee/tea/eggs/toast) for my (male) partner
My day will consist of...
This 8th May will be a bit different: I'll be at an IWD conference and will attend a Solidarity demo for the 'Strike 4 repeal' campaign in support of abortion rights in Ireland.
Otherwise, I would probably spend half the day at home doing housework/cooking, and then half the day in one of my unpaid voluntary roles (despite being leadership roles, my two main voluntary roles are unpaid).
I'll look after...
This year on IWD: a dog belonging to friends I'm staying with temporarily
Usual day: My partner, my cats, my elderly mother and my sister (from a distance)
Other things I'll do in the day are...
Laundry, ironing, cooking
Talking to colleagues and friends
Campaigning for women candidates in local elections
Supporting colleagues
Reading news/info online
I'll go to bed after...
Probably about midnight.
