Rape victim urges mass protest on Global Women’s Day

A Limerick woman who was raped when she was 13 is leading the call for people to take to the streets of Dublin to mark International Women’s Day.

Leona O’Callaghan, who has been critical of the way the judicial system deals with victims of rape and sexual assault, backed the worldwide demonstration. Her attacker was sentenced to 18 and a half years after pleading guilty to charges of sexual assault and rape.
