Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) has launched We-Speak, the first-ever anonymous online platform in Ireland, that aims to empower survivors of sexual violence to safely tell their own stories, in their own time, in their own words. The platform seeks to amplify the voice of survivors, offering a space for them to reclaim their narrative to themselves honestly and share valuable advice and encouragement with others.

This week, Tracey-Lee Kotzen sits down with Kyle Linton, Dr Njabulo Banda and Mari Lee to explore what happens when we carry our struggles in silence and feel unable to say when we are not okay. From the pressure to appear strong to the difficulty of asking for help, this is a conversation about vulnerability, connection and what we lose when we cannot speak about our struggles.
