Sarah Grace is an Irish-based lawyer who acts as a spokesperson and activist against violence against women. She is also the author of Ash + Salt, a book which depicts her own experience as a survivor and her journey to fight for and empower not only herself but all survivors of sexual assault who have faced injustice at the hands of their attackers and the law.

The Hist teamed up with Trinity’s Law Society to run two events with Sarah last Monday.

Sarah led a yoga class, followed by a breakfast morning with goodies supplied by Deloitte Ireland, as a fundraiser for Dublin Rape Crisis Center. Then, LawSoc and the Hist hosted an address from Sarah in the GMB Chamber, where she was awarded the Hist’s Gold Medal and LawSoc’s Praeses Elit Award for her outstanding work.

We were thrilled to be able to recognise Sarah’s incredible activism and bravery, while also raising over €500 for DRCC.

Special thanks to Deloitte for their support on this event.
