A funding model that can’t retain providers or serve all families is not a stable foundation for our childcare system.
We need a truly public system – now.

👧 NWC calls for public childcare that would guarantee a place for #EveryChild, no matter who or where they are. Women deserve nothing less.
NWC stands in unwavering solidarity with anyone who has been afraid or experienced intimidation after bad actors took to the streets in Belfast perpetrating violence, intimidation and arson.
Violence does not solve violence, and makes everyone feel more unsafe.
We hope you are at peace now, Noreen.
We send our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of Noreen Daly, who has been murdered in Waterford. Their loss is devastating, and impossible to fully capture in words.
Women everywhere deserve to live, and die, free from violence.
