In this Episode Trina speaks with Dawn Russell of the Anna Liffey Drugs Project about her work as Head of Services.
Dawn says she’s motivated because she “cares deeply about people who are
marginalised, who are judged and left out of our society”, and she is “driven to
work for them to improve their lives.”
“...I have watched with pride as Ireland proved to the world
and to ourselves that we are a compassionate, inclusive and caring society
through the marriage equality and abortion rights referenda. Now in Ireland, it’s
time for people who are battling with addictions to be understood and to be
brought into our society, from the shadows and alleyways where they are forced
to live. People with drug and alcohol addictions have value, they have rights, and
we have to work for them to be recognised. This is what motivates me every day,”
says Russell.
