S4 Ep 12 Beyond Surviving with Ciara Mangan. In the intro, Molly
discusses travelling on her own for the first time ever to see
BEYONCÉ! and what she learned from that experience. Molly also
has a chat about good men and not settling for people who don't
share your values. Now let's get to the episode.....

Ciara Mangan is the founder of Beyond Surviving, a survivor-led
charity organisation dedicated to connecting survivors of
domestic abuse and sexual violence, and supporting their healing,
wellbeing, and growth—beyond surviving.

Ciara is also a survivor of rape and workplace victim abuse and
harassment. Having navigated the criminal justice system for over
eight years, she is a formidable advocate for fellow survivors
and for herself. Fueled by a relentless drive to speak up for
what victims need and deserve as they navigate the road to
justice in Ireland, Ciara challenges the judiciary system—raising
awareness of its failures and the treatment of those at its core:
victims. Her lived experience, and work with fellow survivors,
underpins her commitment to systemic change and the urgent need
for a victim-centred approach—one that treats victims with the
dignity, respect, and consideration they deserve and demand (or
in other words, the bare minimum).

Molly discusses all of the above with Ciara. Ciara shares the
story of her assault and the extremely difficult process of
navigating our judicial system as a victim of crime. Ciara's
story has so many lessons for all of us, it was a privilege to
have Ciara Mangan on Healing Gals Podcast. I hope this discussion
inspires you to discuss safety and spiking with the ones you
love.
