14.07.2005 – Black women seeking Asylum march from the Dáil to the Minister of Justice. This protest was organised by women asylum seekers in opposition to deportations granted by the Department of Justice and Minster of Justice Micheal McDowell of women and girl children facing reproductive abuses such as Female Genital Mutilation and other gender based violence.
