Saddened to learn of the death of one of Ireland's strongest champions of victims of sexual violence when it was largely still hidden & untreated here. We stand on the shoulders of Moira & those who worked with her; our society owes her a debt of gratitude

In the news, particularly from the USA, we've been hearing many rape myths, particularly around alcohol and delays in reporting. Reponsible media counteract this with factual information from support agencies. The only person responsible for rape is the rapist #NoMoreRapeMyths

8 days: a working week& a half. I can only imagine how taxing it was I am grateful to her for very clearly demonstrating that being a victim of sexual violence does not mean that you are weak&cannot hold your own on the stand. I hope the coming weeks and months are okay for her.

Language matters - A child can not consent to sex. There's no such thing as a child prostitute this is child sexual exploitation.

Consent Put Simply

"Language choices matter. To say that a child 'became a prostitute at age 14' implies a sense of choice. A better alternative would be to say that a child 'was groomed into child sexual exploitation at the age of 14'." #media #nomorerapemyths #rapemyths #bestpractice #cse
