Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene Laundry Investigations

Amnesty International and Ulster University held a series of online events with experts and survivors to inform the investigation process into the Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene Laundry during March and April 2021. I spoke at the one of these public panels on 23 April 2021 to share lessons from transitional justice for the design of the inquiry. The recording is presented below.


The other seminars in the series can be viewed here, a report was also published summarising the main issues coming out to the seminars, download here (external link).
