Handmaids launch red support call

Pro-choice campaign moves online

Women around the Island are turning red in support of changes to the Island's abortion laws.

Pro-choice lobby group Handmaids Isle of Man, which has become known for its visual and silent protests over the past year, has launched the campaign online. 

Members of the House of Keys are due to receive a landmark reform bill on Tuesday (23 January).

Proponents are being invited to use the hashtags #RED4ChoiceIOM and #IStandWithHandmaidsIOM online.

The group is also encouraging residents to wear red items of clothing ahead of next week's sitting - an approach it's calling 'quick, different and effective'.
