A Cork woman whose father raped her repeatedly as a child said that shame is still carried by most survivors of sexual abuse, and a public awareness campaign is needed to tackle this.
Amy Barrett said that she was not surprised by findings in the Central Statistics Office (CSO) Sexual Violence Survey 2022 on disclosure of experiences which was published on Monday.
