What we want to change and why we want to change it
Donating blood saves lives. Here in Northern Ireland we need 200 new donors every week to keep up with demand.The Northern Ireland Executive has banned gay and bisexual men (MSM – Men who have Sex with Men) or women who have had sex with MSM from donating blood. We believe that this is discriminatory and because every donation is screened to remove the risk of infection, it is also irrational. We want to challenge this inequality and we are asking you to help.
