Flowers were laid at five separate plots in Glasnevin Cemetery, in memory of the women who died in Magdalene laundries.
A special ceremony in honour of the women was held at the graveyard.
Several hundred people came to the event, which was organised by the Justice for Magdalenes Research group.
Spokesperson Claire McGettrick said there are seven known plots in Glasnevin where Magdalene women are buried.
She said it is estimated that the remains of up to 400 women were buried in the graveyard, but many of their identities remain unknown.
The women were from laundries in High Park, Drumcondra and Sean MacDermott Street in Dublin.
