One of Ireland's most powerful campaigners, the Kavanagh Sisters, have spoken out about their experiences of sexual abuse at the hands of their father. Shaneda Daly, now 30, was just four years old when her father, an ex-army and prison officer, began grooming her for nearly 15 years. The emotional and physical toll of the abuse was immense, and it took a toll on her mental health.

Despite the trauma, Shaneda managed to rebuild her life and find happiness. However, her father's abuse continued, and he attempted to abuse her once more after she left home to seek help. This time, Shaneda was determined to stand up to him and contacted the police.

In 2011, her father was convicted of 227 counts of abuse, and Shaneda now fights as a campaigner for other victims of sexual abuse. She is bravely telling her story fully for the first time, hoping to help others who have been through similar experiences.

The Kavanagh Sisters' story is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of sexual abuse and the importance of seeking help and support. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of survivors, and their determination to fight for justice and change.
