Follow instructions here to print and make the lantern - Place a lighted candle in it in your window in remembrance of Savita Halappanavar.

You are welcome to share a photo of your lantern with the general location to info@abortionrights.ie or via @freesafelegal on Twitter 

This commemorative lantern is a symbol of sympathy and solidarity;  sympathy for the unnecessary death of  Savita Hallapanavar and solidarity with her family's struggle for justice. The light offers a symbol of hope, marking the anniversary of Savita's tragic and unnecessary death; a tradition that is observed in both Ireland and India. 

This small gesture in memory of Savita might also be a big comfort for women and men in your community who have suffered due to the silencing caused by stigmatisation of abortion in Ireland.  In times of tragedy, the saddest experience is the feeling of not being able to do anything.  Sadly, we cannot do anything for Savita now but together we can make sure it never again happens to anyone else.
