Member Q&A

What is your goal? 

We work to ensure that everyone in Ireland can enjoy all of their rights, all of the time. Our mission is to speak truth to power, even when it is unpopular or difficult. 

How has being a member of The Wheel helped? 

The Wheel provide excellent training on a large number of issues, from administration to press work to crisis planning. We are also glad to be able to count on support from The Wheel and other members of The Wheel for many advocacy initiatives. 

How can people support you? 

You can become a member of ICCL at iccl.ie/join. 

Do you have any success stories to share? 

We successfully campaigned for the introduction of a law against creating or sharing intimate images online – what’s known as image-based sexual abuse. We campaigned alongside the mother of a woman who had taken her own life after being subjected to such abuse.
