The new issue celebrates three amazing women changing Ireland for the better
We’re excited to share the September|October issue, featuring three boundary-breaking women on the cover. Hazel Chu, Ellie Kisyombe and Eileen Flynn are each trailblazers in their own right, fighting for positive, meaningful change in difficult areas such as Traveller rights, Direct Provision and homelessness. Together, they are ground-breakers and part of a global narrative that is increasingly showing us how women in leadership can result in monumental change. They graciously gave us time in their tight schedules to capture their portraits (from a safe distance), and spoke to Róisín Healy about why they’re passionate about standing up for the lesser-heard and the voiceless in Irish society.
Here is a peek inside the rest of this very special issue:
