Me and my mother the day before my only sister was born. Can you tell we were in a domestic abuse home? We still had hope at this stage,but nothing changed it only got worse. Our story is not heard because were alive but if we died everyone would want to know it! Change the law!

My mum with my sister over 9 years ago and her with me this year. If you seen my mum in person years ago she'd always have heavy makeup on her face. It wasn't by choice. She was told to put on her makeup to cover her black eyes. My mum now wears whatever makeup by her choice.

14 years.. First day of junior infants to today last LC exam. It's been a rocky few years, at times I thought I wouldn't have made it but I've had my mum always and that's kept me going. Very proud day to have completed my leaving cert now onto the future and getting my dreams🤍

Funny this isn't it, mine, my mother and sisters abuser a settled man. Is it OK for me to say then that every man from the settled community will abuse their wife and children?? No it isn't because I don't paint everyone with the one brush

Please donate. Domestic abuse is something I grew up with for nearly the first 15 years of my life. The night myself, my mum and sister went to the women's refuge in Castlebar is a night I'll never forget and the night I thought I'd lose my mum forever

Delighted to have been selected as one of twelve onto the CIÉ Youth Board for Ireland. Great opportunity to work on transport issues at a young age and being a voice for rural Ireland.

1,532 days since I've spoken to my abuser. A person that hasn't experienced the legal system in this country would think that's a long time to have recovered by now, but this country allows my abuser to continue to abuse me in every way. It's not fair, when is it going to change?

It's not until you survive a domestic abuse home that simple things of being allowed to a wedding,not sitting in anxiousness waiting for an argument or altercation to happen and enjoying the simple things in life mean so much.Yesterday was a day far away from ones we had pervious

Younger me didn't realise when she wore purple she would in years to come wear purple with pride during the month of October to showcase she is a domestic abuse child survivor. As a child I didn't think we'd ever get out, I thought mine or my mother's life would be lost by it all

Countdown is truly on for leaving cert results, honestly crippling in nerves and anxiety now. I'm hoping and praying I've done enough to make younger me proud, and give her the marks she deserves for law. It's been an incredible hard few years but I've honestly tried my hardest.

One of my main reasons to succeed in life. My little sister Tulisha is a constant reason and reminder for me to give 110% to each day. To be sisters is a special bond but to have been sisters to live in a domestic abuse household together shapes a relationship like no other. 🤍

I spoke in on April 1st at the @RosaSocFem event as a panelist with @Minceirbeoir along with other amazing people! I spoke on the racism experienced as a traveler in Ireland. It was noted to me that I was speaking about areas needing change that was spoken 30 years ago!

Justice for domestic abuse child survivors. When I look at old photos of younger me I want to hug her so much. I lived 90 percent of my childhood fearful. Between panick attacks, standing in the middle of physical fights as a shield or women's refugees life was a horror film.

We became the trio that became the three musketeers. We were never seen without each other. We battled together to get structure and love into our lives again. When it became the three of us doing nothing together was better than doing everything with others. Musketeers for life

It was brilliant to be a panelist at the National Voter Registration Day event today in the Mansion House in Dublin. A really important day, that needs to continue into the future. Thank you to Liliana Fernández and Leon Diop for having me a part of such an important day. 🤍
