This appallingly sad Belfast Telegraph article is evidence that the gender discrimination and violence that forced many women into Mother and Baby institutions crossed religious divides. What courage ‘Anne’ has shown in reminding us that they are part of Protestant history also.

I’m going to be removing myself from X. This is now a platform that is serving only the interests of the alt-right and narcissistic billionaires. If you are on Blue Sky Social, you can find me there on @seanoconnellqub.bsky.social

A feature of mother & baby institutions in Northern Ireland is that fewer who went through the Protestant institutions come forward with testimony even though they were the majority of cases. The Panel GUARANTEES privacy if they do speak to us. Their testimonies are vital!

Could folks in North America consider retweeting this please. @BCIrishStudies
