It's July, so I must surely be the first person this year to use the phrase 'grand stocking filler'. Don't hate me.

My cousin, Sarah, talking about what can be done to change how survivors of sexual assault are treated in the aftermath. Her strength and her calm assessment of what needs to be changed are just amazing ❤️ rte.ie/radio/utils/share/rad…
I am so, so proud of my fiercely brave cousin, Sarah, who wants changes to how victims are treated and more open conversations around sexual violence, to help survivors take their power back.
