Welcome to the Older Women's Network

OWN is a network of women and groups from all over Ireland. We work to bring about positive change and the social inclusion of mid-life and older women. We share our experiences and identify and discuss issues of concern. We share information on these issues through our website, newsletters, workshops, fora and we bring the voice of older women to bear in policy and decision-making at local, national and EU level.
