Since 1983, the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution had effectively banned terminations. More than three years since the new bill was signed, campaigners for reproductive rights continue to advocate for improved access. Irish women and girls are still traveling to the United Kingdom for abortions due to a lack of available care and time restrictions on terminations.⁣ ⁣ From ‘Blessed Be the Fruit: Ireland's Struggle to Overturn Anti-Abortion Laws’ by Olivia Harris (@oliviaharris_shoots), awarded in the 2019 World Press Photo Contest.
