Thousands protest across Ireland after soldier who attacked woman walks free | Violence against women and girls | The Guardian

The case of a soldier who brutalised a woman in a random street attack and walked free from court has prompted protests across Ireland.

Thousands of people marched in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick on Saturday to show solidarity with Natasha O’Brien, 24, who has become a symbol of the legal system’s handling of gender-based violence.

“I chose to speak up because I couldn’t imagine the impact on other victims. This is enough. This is the time for it to end,” O’Brien told the Limerick rally.

Earlier this week O’Brien condemned a suspended jail sentence that allowed her attacker, Cathal Crotty, 22, to avoid prison and said the court case had caused fresh trauma. A government minister called the case a “watershed moment” and activists called for legal reform.

गर्व का सिक्का / Coin of Pride – Kaushal Kishore

 

उसने सिक्का गरीब आदमी की ओर उछाला,

वही सिक्का जिसे उसने गर्व से था संभाला…

अब उसका नहीं रहा, उसका गर्व था खड़ा,

गरीब आदमी के पैरों के पास सड़क पर पड़ा…

🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙

He tossed his coin to the poor man’s side,

The same coin that he held with pride…

Was no longer his, now on the street,

Laying close to the poor man’s feet…
