Survivors of Symphysiotomy have voted overwhelmingly to reject the Government's 34 million euro redress scheme.
83 percent of SOS members who attended meetings in Cork and Dublin this weekend have said "no" to the proposals.
They've described the scheme as unfair, restrictive, and say it's based around "unrealistic time limits".
Symphysiotomy involved cutting through the women's pelvis during childbirth - often without the patient's consent.
The redress scheme proposed by Government had been strongly criticised by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, who said it fell far short of meeting Ireland's international human rights obligations.
SOS represents 400 women, Chairperson Marie O' Connor is now calling on the Government to "go back to the drawing board".
