Lady Gaga tattoo inspires sexual violence campaign in Cork

The Cork Sexual Violence Centre has been given permission to reproduce a tattoo that Lady Gaga commissioned for herself and the 50 other abuse survivors who sang with her at this year’s Oscars.

As part of the international campaign, 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, the centre will be handing out transfers of the Gaga tattoo to students at third-level campuses around Cork city.

Lady Gaga’s rendition of ‘Til It Happens to You’ with 50 abuse survivors at the Academy Awards brought tears to the eyes of many of Hollywood’s biggest names. A survivor of sexual assault herself, she wrote the song for the The Hunting Ground, an acclaimed documentary about campus rape.
