The Well Woman Centre

The Dublin Well Woman Centres were founded in 1978, with the aim of helping Irish women access family planning information and services – at a time when contraception was illegal. Throughout the 1980s, Well Woman campaigned for the right to provide information to women facing crisis pregnancy, and in the 1990s won a landmark case at the European Court of Human Rights.

Times change, and over the past 30 years Well Woman has extended its range of services, and now provides broader-based primary healthcare services to both women and men. We continue to influence public policy and awareness by speaking out on women’s health issues.

Well Woman's Current Policy Concerns:

Advocacy to bring about a free national cervical cancer vaccination programme

Availability of breast screening

Cervical screening and sexual health

Well Woman provides employment to over 55 doctors, nurses, counsellors, and reception/administration staff, and remains the leading provider of women’s health services in Dublin.
