Afected by the death of Savita Halappanavar, Anna Cosgrave set up Repeal Project – the organisation behind the iconic black jumpers which have become synonymous with the movement to repeal the Eighth Amendment. An outerwear initiative created to shed light on the abortion issue in Ireland, it also acts as a fundraising mechanism for grassroots organisations. Photo by Babs Daly.

I was a super-hyperactive, problematic child. I grew up on a farm just outside Rathnew in Wicklow and went to a really strict, all girls boarding school where I was constantly told to act ladylike, so coming up to Dublin was like a liberating moment of freedom.

I went to college in Trinity and ended up eventually dropping out, but I had such an unbelievable time there in terms of my whole mind being opened.
