Survivor and campaigner Sophie Brady joins Valerieto speak bravely about her experience of child sexual abuse, and how the justice system in Ireland left her feeling unheard and unsupported from the very first statement right through to court.
Sophie explains why she’s calling for tougher sentences for sexual violence, and why she believes counselling notes should be completely protected from being used in court. She breaks down how the current system can re-traumatise victims, and how fear of therapy records being reviewed can stop survivors from getting the help they need.
