Magdalene laundries

The Magdalene Laundries of Ireland and the role of Women Ireland was known, until the late 90’s, as the European country which exerted the most sexual oppression on women.

Up until then, marriage was based on love and before famine were an essential contribution to the family’s economy. But famine put an end to all this. While many were obliged to emigrate, millions also died of hunger. With…
