⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️
_
R**e Crisis Midwest have been deeply disturbed and disgusted by the St Patrick's Day float depicting a commentary on the Epstein Files
_
On a national day of celebration where hundreds of people, including children were watching a parade. Adult people and teenage boys simulated R**e and Sexual Assault.
_
The very fact that adult people, parents and organisers of this parade believed this to be "satire" or "funny" simply beggars belief.
_
To be very clear, Sexual Violence is not something to be satirised or made fun of. It is a crime that has life long impacts and can destroy lives.
_
Ireland is thought to be a progressive country. When something such as this can happen and be laughed at, as a society we need to question how serious we view sexual violence and apparent little regard we hold for survivors of sexual violence.

International Women's Day - Women's Wisdom, then & now
Join us on Tuesday, March 10th as we celebrate International Women's Day. Our event this year is Women's Wisdom, then & now. This will be a space to honour the women who have come before us, learn from their wisdom and for the women in the room to connect and share their wisdom and life experience. The event will start with a short reception before moving on to women sharing their collective wisdom in a world café style format. There will be six tables with facilitators present, each table will be dedicated to a feminist gone before us, that will cover a different topic. Finally, we will welcome our guest speaker, life coach, Gráinne Carr. Using her knowledge and skills she will cover topics and share techniques leaving women feeling grounded and empowered.
This event is free of charge but places are limited and must be reserved in advance. It takes place on Tuesday, March 10th, 6pm - 9:30pm in the Absolute Hotel. For full event information or to book your place go to Eventbrite.

Our Executive Director Siobhàn O Leary spoke to Kathleen and Maurice about the services RCM provide to survivors of sexual violence across the Midwest and the pressures and issues the service is facing.
__
Issues discussed were the lack of a designated Sexual Assault & Treatment Unit (SATU) for the Midwest and the gap in funding for training and education supports for DSGBV services in the Midwest.

We welcome the Ministers comments on the use of counselling notes. A presumption of non disclosure. Time and time and time again, R**e Crisis Midwest hears from survivors how damaging and retraumatising the disclosure of counselling notes can be.

R**e Crisis Midwest will not be using the X platform. You will continue to find us on Instagram and Facebook 🧡

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and the kind people of Limerick, Ennis and Nenagh 🧡
