Ireland Votes on Constitutional Changes to Remove 'Women in the Home' Reference

The referendums aim to modernize the constitution by deleting outdated gender language and expanding the definition of family.

Ireland holds a referendum to delete references to a woman's 'duties in the home' from its constitution, aiming to address gender inequality.
The proposed changes include expanding the constitutional definition of family beyond marriage to include 'durable relationships'.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar warns that a 'No' vote would be a setback, reaffirming outdated views and failing to recognize diverse family structures.
Polls predict the referendums to pass but indicate a significant portion of voters remain undecided, with concerns over low turnout.
Critics argue the new language is vague and could lead to legal uncertainties, while supporters see it as a step towards inclusivity and equality.
