'Speaking out is the best thing I've ever done': Vicky Phelan in her own words

In 2021, campaigner Vicky Phelan shared her proudest moment with us to mark International Women's Day

The moment Vicky Phelan was most proud of was her refusal to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

There were many times in Vicky Phelan’s life when the campaigner and mother of two chose to challenge medical institutions and the state.

But, the moment she was most proud of was her refusal to sign a non-disclosure agreement which gave her the freedom to talk openly about the CervicalCheck scandal and ensure the women of Ireland knew.
