| Résumé : | On the 17th of May 2013, Justice for Magdalenes (JFM), the survivor advocacy group, announced the end of its political campaign, begun in June 2009. It contributed to exposing the Irish State and the religious congrégations that ran the laundries, and forcing them to take responsability. Through sustained and relentless activism and engaging with the political forces of the nation, the religious orders and national and international human rights institutions, JFM managed to obtain a formal apology on behalf on the Irish State by An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, and a compensation and redress scheme for former résidents of the institutions. This paper proposes to examine the different aspects of JFM's campaign, its achievements and continuous commitment |
