Summaries

Irish women in London form a centre to advocate for their rights, tackle anti-Irish racism and mainstream Irish community's indifference towards their issues.

A documentary film made by an all women crew about the London Irish Women's Centre a radical organisation in Stoke Newington London from 1983 - 2012. The London Irish Women's Centre was founded in the early 80's by some exceptional Irish women, to represent and support generations of Irish women in London. What was remarkable about the women involved was their commitment to creating an alternative cultural and political space for women to be Irish. They openly discussed and made public issues pertinent to both women in Ireland and Irish women in London against a backdrop of anti-Irish racism from within the UK and at best indifference from the mainstream Irish community in London.—Anonymous
