<p>This podcast is to accompany the book by Erin Darcy called In Her Shoes. </p> <p>Following in the footsteps of the book, Kate Brennan Harding and Erin Darcy meet at the kitchen table and over zoom calls to start telling the stories of changemakers. </p> <p>This first episode takes a look at the importance of finding your community, how activism centered around the repeal movement brought together a group of women in East Galway to create change, in doing so they created their own tribe. </p> <p>We also talk about 'Bean Dad' and celebrate Nollaig Na mBan. </p> <p>Expect to hear Women who are changemakers and expect to be inspired. </p> <p>Erin Darcy is an artist and author. </p> <p>Kate Brennan Harding is a producer and DJ. </p> <p>In early 2018, Erin Darcy created an online art project, In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth, to safely and anonymously share private stories of the real and devastating impact of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland.</p> <p>In the five months leading up to the referendum on abortion, the project asked a simple question of undecided voters: put yourself in her shoes. Within weeks, Erin was receiving hundreds of stories from a broad spectrum of experiences of planned and unplanned terminations. By the time Ireland historically voted Yes to Repeal the Eighth on 25 May 2018, the page had gathered over 100,000 followers, was reaching over four million readers each week and had been featured by international news outlets. </p> <p>What began as a solo act of grassroots activism by a mother and an artist had unleashed a national conversation on human rights that would change Ireland forever. Where once there had been silence and shame, now there was honesty and empathy.</p> <p>For 43 per cent of voters, it was ‘stories in the an anthology and a memoir media’ that influenced their decision to vote Yes. But for Erin Darcy, In Her Shoes was also a distraction from her own heartbreaking loss, loneliness and depression as she grieved her mother’s death and sought a community of her own. In time, it became an act of healing, as she connected with other women, mothers and campaigners who felt the same overwhelming need to do something. Here, In Her Shoes: Women of the Eighth reproduces thirty-two of those anonymous stories, representing the entire island of Ireland. Published with their authors’ consent and illustrated by Erin, they are powerful testimonies to storytelling as salvation from heartache, stigma and threat. Together, they record lived truths previously omitted from history and signal a monumental change in the social landscape of our country.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
