Colm's Bray Cliff Run
Colm O'Gorman is raising money for Amnesty International Ireland
Story
This April, I am running the Bray 10K Cliff run to raise money for Amnesty International's MY BODY MY RIGHTS campaign.
All over the world, from Sierra Leone to right here in Ireland, people are coerced, criminalised and discriminated against, simply for making choices about their bodies and their lives. In the face of these continuing violations, Amnesty International launched MY BODY MY RIGHTS, a global campaign to defend sexual and reproductive rights for all.
In Ireland, our near-total abortion ban criminalises women for seeking the healthcare they need. Ireland only allows women and girls access to abortion if their life is at risk. In all other cases, abortion is a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
About 4, 000 women and girls are forced to leave this country each year to access abortion services in other countries.
Stand in solidarity with these women today and make a donation to show your support. Any amount, small or large, makes a difference, helping Amnesty continue to work towards a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
