"It is not easy to stand outside the mainstream and to continue to
press for the truth, but we know this is the way in which human rights
defenders undertake their work in every country around the world."
Dr. Maurice Manning, President, Irish Human Rights Commission (9 Nov. 2010)
Justice for Magdalenes (JFM) was established in 2003. The group had two main objectives, which were: i) to bring about an official apology from the Irish State, and ii) the establishment of a compensation scheme for all Magdalene survivors. JFM exited the political arena in May 2013 having achieved its aims (see our ‘Exit Statement’ here). At this point Justice for Magdalenes Research (JFMR) was established. The main aim of JFMR is to provide for the advancement of education of the general public by researching the Magdalene Laundries and similar institutions and by providing information and support to the women who spent time in the Magdalene Laundries and their families.
JFMR is in the process of designing a new website, which will be online shortly, and in the meantime this website contains much of the previous JFM material, but also - where noted - JFM Research material.
