Victim Blaming in Court | Cork News

A shocking courtroom moment in Limerick where a defense lawyer questioned a survivor’s clothing reignites the fight against victim-blaming in sexual assault cases. This isn’t new — recall the 2018 scandal when underwear was held up in court, sparking global outrage and the ThisIsNotConsent movement — yet little has changed. Survivors face re-traumatization and systemic neglect, especially in the Mid-West, where one woman had to travel to Galway for care. Activists are demanding real reforms: anti-victim-blaming guidelines and a dedicated regional sexual assault treatment unit. This case is a rallying cry for a justice system that protects survivors, holds perpetrators accountable, and ends the cycle of blame.
