"Ireland Votes on Women and Family Referendums: What You Need to Know"

Ireland is holding referendums on proposals to replace constitutional references to the definition of the family and women’s role in the home, with Prime Minister Leo Varadkar calling it a chance to remove "very old-fashioned, very sexist language about women." The proposed amendments aim to broaden the definition of family and remove references to women's role in the home, with turnout expected to be a key factor in the outcome. The changes reflect Ireland's social transformation from a conservative, Catholic country to an increasingly diverse and socially liberal society, with all major political parties backing the proposed amendments.
