Breaking The Silence

Breaking the Silence is a Newstalk original podcast in association with Dublin Rape Crisis Centre exploring an issue that affects 4 in 10 people in Ireland – sexual violence. The series gives a voice to survivors and allows them to tell their own story and speak out about the issues they faced, not only during the assault, but also in the days, weeks and years that followed. Hosted by Clare McKenna, each episode will also be a chance for the experts to explain how the current system in Ireland is set up to help and support victims.  All to help us better understand what sexual violence is and the wide-ranging impacts of an attack.  If you are affected by any of the issues raised in this podcast help is available. Contact Dublin Rape Crisis Centre’s National 24-Hour Helpline on 1800 77 8888.  This podcast was supported by Avolon.
