Jillian van Turnout (46), from Dublin, is a Senator and children’s rights activist. She wasn’t always convinced that equal marriage was the way forward. But with her vast and varied experience, she has changed her mind. She’ll be voting yes, and hopes that you will too.

“Through my years of experience as a Children’s Rights activist I’ve seen that life is more grey, and it’s not just black and white. We need to ensure that children feel secure in a family.”
