Episode Synopsis

Mary Crilly is the CEO of the Sexual Violence Centre Cork which is a non profit, community organisation that was set up on International Womens Day back in 1983 and it has been providing services to victims of sexual violence in Cork City and County for 40 years now.

She is one of the driving forces behind Safe Gigs Ireland. In 2019, University College Cork awarded her with the inaugural equality award for her role in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion and in 2022 she was presented with the freedom of Cork.

We talk about her life as a crusader for the rights of sexual violence victims and also to play some music that is close to her cause.

The topics discussed on this show may be distressing if you or anyone you know have been affected by any sexual abuse. You can contact the Sexual Violence Centre Cork on freephone 1800 496 496.
