Minister Norma Foley - TD launched the new 5-year National Strategy for Women and Girls, yesterday November 18th 2025.

The Strategy has a single, simple vision: An Ireland where women and girls can thrive in a gender equal society.

It sets out seven key goals to ensure women and girls can thrive at every stage of life — from boosting participation in education and employment to tackling stereotypes, supporting wellbeing, and ensuring women’s needs are central to policy design.
