Sinéad O’Brien fundraising for Women's Aid

I am running the Dublin City Marathon this year to raise funds for Women’s Aid, an incredible organisation that provides support and resources to women affected by domestic violence and abuse. This cause is especially close to my heart as I have recently started a Master’s program focused on the intersection of law and trauma. My dissertation will explore how lawyers can better support women entering the legal system with experiences of domestic violence and abuse, ensuring they receive the care, respect, and understanding they deserve. By supporting my run, you are helping fund the vital services that Women’s Aid provides to those in need. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference in the lives of women and children facing unimaginable challenges. Thank you for your generosity and for helping me take a step towards creating a more supportive and understanding legal system for survivors.
