Look at your hands holding this paper. From the moment shortly after birth when you used them to grip the finger of your parents, they have been the first contact you have with people. In a country not really at home with kissing both cheeks to greet, it is our hands we use for that first tentative meeting or that warm grip of an old friend. Now think about the hand of a woman who has been physically, mentally, or sexually abused. A woman whose trust has been broken. The Mayo Rape Crisis Centre and Mayo Women’s Support Services work with these women to help them regain their trust in people.
