Last December, I was publicly defamed in TWO Facebook group pages by anonymous individuals who chose to spread misinformation, incite hostility, and actively participate in a smear campaign.

Not one of these people ever contacted me directly with a grievance, a question, or a concern.
Instead, they hid behind anonymity — and that choice matters.

Anonymous comments were made that were untrue, derogatory, and deliberately misleading. Terms such as “intimidation tactics” were used in reference to an innocent situation, after another individual chose to lie to others rather than take accountability for their own actions. When accountability was required, the narrative was flipped — and a smear campaign that had gone on for one year by then because I initially called out bad behavior and was vilified for it.

That is abuse.
And abuse thrives in shadows.

We contacted Meta regarding the identities behind these posts because anonymity does not remove responsibility. Hiding behind a profile does not make false statements true, nor does it make harm acceptable.

My message is simple:

If something were true, a person would not need to hide their identity to say it.
If someone had genuine concerns, they would speak directly — not through rumours, third-party stories, or anonymous pile-ons.

Abuse is exposed every time.
And the next time you are tempted to believe anonymous commentary, pause and ask yourself why the person isn’t willing to stand openly behind their words.

Accountability is not intimidation.
Truth does not need a mask.

It’s not easy to place your work publicly to create change - it’s not an invitation for abuse, personal attacks or smear campaigns.

If this resonates, sit with it.
If it challenges you, reflect on it.

Where did it all go wrong?

Kerry government supporting TDs all voted against a motion to give extra support to people with disabilities.

If you think abuse, r**e, and gender-based violence don’t affect you — you’re in denial.

This isn’t opinion. It’s reality.

Abuse, r**e, and gender-based violence do not exist in isolation. They don’t stay neatly contained within “other people’s lives.” They ripple through families, friendships, workplaces, schools, healthcare systems, and courtrooms — whether you acknowledge it or not.

If you think they don’t affect you, you’re wrong.
Denial does not equal safety.

Silence doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Comfort doesn’t mean immunity.
Distance doesn’t mean protection.

The belief that “this doesn’t concern me” comes from ignorance — and ignorance causes harm. It allows systems to fail. It protects perpetrators. It isolates survivors. And it keeps cycles of abuse intact.

Abuse affects:
• how people trust
• how bodies carry trauma
• how illness manifests
• how people parent
• how communities fracture
• how justice is delayed or denied

You may not see it.
You may not hear about it.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t shaping lives all around you.

Gender-based violence affects everyone — not just those who disclose, not just those who survive, not just those who end up in court. It affects the culture we live in, the policies we vote for, the silence we tolerate, and the behaviours we excuse.

If you benefit from silence, you are part of the problem.
If you look away, you are complicit.
If you dismiss it as “not your issue,” you are choosing denial over responsibility.

This isn’t about outrage.
It’s about awareness.
And awareness is the bare minimum.

Because abuse doesn’t disappear when it’s ignored — it thrives.

And if you think it doesn’t affect you, ask yourself why so many people are living with the consequences every single day.

Denial protects no one.
Acknowledgement saves lives.

Manipulation shifts the focus to your reaction
while ignoring the toxic behaviour that caused it.

Cneasú exists to hold space for those experiencing injustice —
to be seen, supported, and understood without judgment.

Healing and justice are never solo journeys.
Community matters.

Standing with survivors is not a hashtag.
It’s not a post.
It’s not “I support you” said quietly behind closed doors.

Standing with survivors requires action.

It means stop supporting known abusers who blend into our communities
Stop eating in their restaurants.
Stop buying from their catering companies.
Stop attending their gigs.
Stop buying their records.
Stop following their pages.
Stop liking their posts.
Stop friending them on socials.
Stop sharing their work.

Stop sitting on the fence.
Stop saying “I don’t want to get involved.”

Because choosing not to get involved is a choice — and too often, it protects abusers and isolates survivors.

Just because someone does not have a conviction does not mean they are innocent.
It often means survivors were silenced, exhausted, disbelieved, financially constrained, or retraumatised by systems that were never built to protect them.

Survivors don’t need quiet sympathy.
They need visible support.
They need to see that harm has consequences.
They need to know their truth cost them less than your comfort.

If you truly stand with survivors, show it.
Withdraw your support from those who cause harm.
Let your actions speak where words fall short.

Because survivors are watching.
And action is what solidarity looks like.
