Women of Northern Ireland

Synopsis
Despite political and religious differences, women in Northern Ireland have much in common, particularly their concerns about educaiton, jobs and child-care facilities. The film shows three women’s centres in Northern Ireland where the women talk about their experience of exclusion from full citizenship as a result of lack of opportunities for education and training, high levels of unemployment and the burden of family responsibilities.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
