Love the celebratory tone of citizenship ceremonies and the Department of Justice sharing profiles below to humanise the process - we must protect our approach to and celebration of citizenship in Ireland. Well done to all recipients and Department of Justice 🇮🇪 and Minister Helen McEntee TD 🇮🇪
Congrats to Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission on another excellent report and launch - was great to be able to join online. This issue persists, and times of chaos and uncertainty globally and restricted supports nationally exacerbate it. Renewed onus on our all working together to support survivors.
The Strength in Diversity II report by Immigrant Council.ie reveals: • A milestone 120+ migrant candidates in Irish local elections • 21 elected, doubling 2019 figures Despite this progress significant representation gaps and challenges, including violence and harassment, remain.
Thank you Michelle and SHE Programme !

It's finally here, 6 weeks of research & 7 years of practice as a facilitator of migrant electoral participation in one report. A big thanks to Dr Valesca L. for her academic support while writing this report. Link to the report in comments.
In June we've celebrated the 100% increase of elected local councillors of a migrant background but the reality is those candidates have 62% less chances to be elected. Why? Read about it in this article or the full report. Link below Immigrant Council.ie irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…
