Handmaids announce social media campaign

Abortion campaigners who made their mark on Tynwald Day have announced their latest campaign - as new laws get their first reading in the House of Keys next week.

Handmaids Isle of Man are asking people to share photos of themselves wearing red on social media as MHKs discuss the Abortion Reform Bill on Tuesday.

They're asking people to use hashtags #RED4ChoiceIOM and #IStandWithHandMaidsIOM

The group rose to prominence last year when women dressed in uniforms from the Margaret Atwell TV series held a silent demonstration at Tynwald.
