Dawn Purvis steps down as director of Marie Stopes in Northern Ireland.

I remember a guest post from her on here last year. I so admire her and what she has done to help women in NI. And Smyth from Precious Life only got community service for harassment

Sad news that Dawn is stepping down but i understand her reasons.

That is sad, but I don't blame her at all. She has done such amazing work for the women of NI, in the face of incredible stupidity and bigotry and in the end, violent threats. I wish her the absolute best, but god alone knows who will be strong enough to pick up her mantle.

YY Puffins Shes an amazing woman.

Well done Dawn.

amazing woman at the coalface of women's rights
