I completed grounded theory research into women's experiences of the legal system in contract to an Irish ngo, with their members and the women and children they support, I co-authored this report with other contributors. Analysis included qualitative research looking at theory through this research frame. http://www.safeireland.ie/wp-content/uploads/SAFE-IRELAND-The-Lawlessness-of-the-Home.pdfI worked with an ngo team preparing and submitting amendments to the Domestic Violence Bill 2017: http://www.safeireland.ie/wp-content/uploads/SAFE-Ireland-Domestic-Violence-Bill-2017-Recommendations-for-Legislative-Amendments-April-2017-.pdf This bill, incorporating those amendments, is now law.On contract to an ngo in 2016, I worked with others to create the SAFE Ireland Summit. Raising the profile of domestic violence as a human rights violation, the Mansion House event hosted 45 world leading speakers, activists and artists including: women who have experienced abuse and violence; legal and human rights activists; the first ever advisor to the Obama and Biden White House on violence against women, Lynn Rosenthal; head of Amnesty International, Colm O'Gorman; journalists Mona Eltahawy, Olivia O'Leary and Roisin Ingle; artists, Hozier, Louise O'Neill, Eve Ensler and Panti Bliss.A Director of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Mark Pollock Trust I spoke at TED Global in 2018 about how acceptance, hope and human endeavour can change life.
