In a significant move, Irish voters will head to the polls on International Women’s Day to decide on two key referendums aimed at modernizing the country’s constitution. The first referendum, the 39th amendment, focuses on redefining the concept of family by removing the exclusive reference to marriage as the foundation of a family and allowing for other durable relationships to be recognized. The second proposed amendment, the 40th, seeks to eliminate outdated and sexist language regarding women's roles in the home, emphasizing the state's support for caregiving within families.
