The political party People Before Profit will be holding a public meeting on the right to choose in the North, tonight (Thursday May 31) in Derry.
They are also calling on Derry City and Strabane District Council to pass a motion calling for the decriminalisation of abortion.
Spokesperson, Goretti Horgan, said: "The overwhelming Yes vote to repeal the 8th Amendment in the South is a victory for women's rights and equality. Women will now gain the right to choose.
"People Before Profit is a pro-choice 32 county socialist party. We campaigned in every county for repeal and now we want to see choice extended to the North.
"PBP has launched a public petition calling on the Derry and Strabane Council to support the right to choose by passing a motion calling for the decriminalisation of abortion. Belfast City Council overwhelmingly passed a similar motion in April.
"A majority here support changing abortion laws to match the reality of women's lives.
"A majority of people oppose criminalisation of women who access abortion services in the North. Women who use abortion pills here can face life imprisonment but can access abortion services in Britain through the NHS. This hypocrisy must end.
"It's time for every Councillor in the Derry and Strabane Council to take a stand for women's equality."
The PBP public meeting on the right to choose takes place at 7pm at the Echo Echo Theatre, Magazine Street, Derry.
