Derry Traveller Women currently participating in a ‘Training for Trainers’ program completed their ‘Read it: Sign it: Send It’ leaflets to support a strong Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland. All petitions were forwarded to Secretary of State, Shaun Woodward, last week.

The ‘Training for Trainers’ program is sponsored by the Western Area Traveller Inclusion Project and Derry Traveller Support Group.

Spokesperson Winnie Crumlish stated:

“It is important for Traveller women to articulate their support for the Bill of Rights, as it will ensure the recognition and protection of Traveller culture, identity and protection against discrimination”
