Buildings across Ireland lit up in honour of mother and baby home survivors

Melanie, the CEO and founder of Her Story, introduces the storytelling movement aimed at empowering women by sharing their stories across different media. The movement includes a TV series, exhibitions, and campaigns like the Pilgrimage of Light in Ireland, which honors women and children who suffered in mother and baby homes. The public's response has been healing and cathartic, emphasizing the importance of making these stories visible, especially as archives are being deleted. The initiative aims to ensure these stories are never forgotten.
