What happens when silence turns into solidarity?

In 2018, artist and activist Erin Darcy launched 'In Her Shoes - Women of the Eighth', an online project where Irish women anonymously shared the realities of abortion under the Eighth Amendment. Within months, hundreds of stories poured in, breaking decades of taboo and helping shift public opinion before Ireland's historic vote to repeal the Amendment that May. Garnering over 100,000 followers and global media attention, the project became both a national reckoning and a personal act of healing for Darcy, who transformed grief into activism.

Seven years on, as reproductive rights worldwide face renewed political pressure, 'In Her Shoes' remains a landmark in digital activism: proof that storytelling can shape legislation and a reminder that change begins when we dare to listen — and to step, gently, into another's shoes.
