A survey highlights that women hesitate to report sexual violence due to fears of disbelief and judgment. Ms Morragh stresses the need for societal change and stricter enforcement of laws against Intimate Image Abuse.
A recent survey reveals that women often refrain from sharing incidents of sexual violence due to fears of not being believed or being judged and blamed. The research indicates that significant progress is still needed in addressing these fears.
Ms Morragh, a spokesperson, pointed out that Intimate Image Abuse is criminalized under Irish law since 2021, and while awareness about this issue has increased, more actions are required to tackle the underlying societal attitudes toward consent and sexual violence. She emphasized the importance of societal attitudes in shaping the environment in which sexual violence occurs and called for collective action to foster a safer society with zero tolerance for gender-based violence
