I Survived a Catholic Asylum | DEEP

This week we spoke to Maureen Sullivan, a survivor of child abuse at Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, also known as Magdalene asylums, that housed women and girls deemed to have "fallen from grace". She shared her story of hardship, survival, and the fight for justice in one of Irish history’s darkest chapters. 00:00 - Early childhood & abuse 03:13 - Magdalene Laundries and What Life There Was Like 09:33 - On Being Trafficked 11:52 - Leaving Magdalene Laundries & Uncovering Abuse 15:57 - Living with the trauma 17:06 - Speaking Out 19:03 - Bringing Nuns to Justice 24:00 - Reflection Thanks to Maureen for taking part!
