Take the Boat background

Take the Boat

Ireland's path to legalizing abortion is a complex and contentious journey, as told through the untold stories and struggles of those impacted by the country's restrictive reproductive laws.

The woman's right to choose is still threatened in several European countries, with Ireland imposing a potential 14-year prison sentence. Each year, around 5,000 Irish women travel to the UK for abortion services, a journey often referred to as "taking the boat".
