About this listen

In the first of a six part series produced by Newstalk along with Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, we speak to Charlene Masterson who was blackmailed and sexually assaulted by her father for over 7 years. Charlene recalls how the abuse first began and the shocking moment she realised her father was the cause of so much hurt. She also demonstrates the immense strength within survivors and the crucial role friends, family and society at large can play to support those impacted by sexual assault.

We’re also joined by Dublin Rape Crisis Centre CEO Rachel Morrogh to help us further understand the prevalence of sexual assault and rape in Ireland and what more needs to be done to prevent it.

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.
