Editing Constitution of Ireland (section)

===Status of women===
The Constitution guarantees women the right to vote and to nationality and citizenship on an equal basis with men. It also contains a provision, Article 41.2, which states:

{{blockquote|1° [...] the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.
<br>
2° The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home.}}

A proposed amendment to this article (the [[2024 Irish constitutional referendums|Fortieth Amendment]]) was defeated in a referendum in March 2024.
