Liberate Grace is an independent advocacy initiative active in Europe.

Grace's Story[edit]

Grace is a young Irish woman who was a victim of forced sterilization carried out by the Irish National Health System after being anesthetized. The initiative was born to denounce and legally pursue the negligence and physical abuse suffered by Grace and committed by personnel of hospital and rehabilitation facilities of the Irish National Health System (HSE).

Objectives[edit]

The primary objective of Liberate Grace’s mission is the elimination of all forms of discrimination suffered by Grace in order to ensure her enjoyment of the rights and freedoms recognized in the European Convention on Human Rights, which came into force in the Republic of Ireland with the enactment of the “European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003”.

To ensure that physical and psychological abuses suffered by Grace would never happen again, the secondary objective of Liberate Grace’s mission is to refer any responsible persons to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg for violations relating to the European Convention on Human Rights, and to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg for violations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Volunteering[edit]

Liberate Grace operates in several European countries alongside civil society and local communities, engaged in social justice, supporting human rights and democracy. There are many opportunities to help Grace and support the Liberate Grace initiative, such as becoming a “Grace’s Friends”.

Grace’s Friends represents an important point of union between Liberate Grace’s activities and the outside world, as ambassadors for the civil and moral values on which Liberate Grace’s initiative is based for the protection and respect of Grace and all women who suffer violence on a daily basis.

Supporting Grace[edit]

There are many opportunities to help Grace and support the Liberate Grace initiative. One of the simplest options is to make a donation for a specific action planned by Liberate Grace volunteers and published in the “Action Plans” section of the Liberate Grace website, or to make a free donation from the “Fundraising” section.

To ensure maximum transparency and security, donations for Grace will be collected by our European partner Go Get Funding (GGF) which guarantees payment transactions in compliance with PCI DSS certification standards. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) is an information security standard designed to prevent payment fraud through increased control over credit card data.

With the support of civil society, Liberate Grace’s Advocacy initiative wants to enable Grace to return to living a free and self-determined life as soon as possible.

Updates on Grace's Case[edit]

Updates on Grace’s case will only be made available on the official website of Liberate Grace, and subsequently broadcasted by social channels of “Grace’s Friends”.
