"Ireland Votes on Women's Place in the Home: The Referendum Explained"

TL;DR Summary
Irish voters will decide on International Women’s Day whether to change the 87-year-old constitution to remove outdated and sexist passages, including references to women's domestic duties and the definition of family. The proposed amendments aim to modernize the constitution to reflect the realities of modern family life and enshrine gender equality. While polls suggest support for the changes, some voters remain undecided, and concerns have been raised about the wording and potential unintended consequences of the amendments.
