Published to mark the 25th year of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Without Fear – 25 Years of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre was described by President Mary Robinson as “a proud history and powerfully told”. Susan McKay, a former volunteer at the DRCC and a founder member of the Belfast Rape Crisis Centre, describes the shameful scandals of high profile rape cases in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, as well as many others less well known.
The book looks at campaigns for legal changes and better services, and places issues of violence against women at the heart of battles for women’s equality in Ireland.
