Welcome to Justice for Magdalenes
"It is not easy to stand outside the mainstream and to continue to press for the truth, but we know this is the way in which human rights defenders undertake their work in every country around the world."
— Dr. Maurice Manning, President, Irish Human Rights Commission (9 Nov. 2010)
 JFM extends deepest condolences on the death of journalist and broadcaster, Mary Raftery Justice for Magdalenes (JFM) was deeply saddened today to learn of the death of renowned journalist and broadcaster, Mary Raftery. Mary's exposure of the circumstances surrounding the High Park Magdalene Laundry exhumations acted as a major catalyst in the rejuvenation of the Magdalene Memorial Committee and ultimately, the foundation of Justice for Magdalenes. Her words, "The most important thing you can do is to give a voice to people who have been silenced. And...what else would I be doing?" will resonate with us, and that voice will be sadly missed. We pay tribute to a brave and tireless journalist and thank her for her extraordinary work on behalf of thousands of survivors of Ireland's 'architecture of containment.' |
