From being unheard to standing up in court for others, Yvonne’s story shows the power of someone saying “I believe you”.
Yvonne takes us on a journey of justice and the quest for the truth. She talks to us about making sense of the past, seeking acknowledgement and speaking up for others. We find out about her voluntary work with Victim Support Scotland, her own criminal justice process and the next steps on her path to helping others.
“I am sharing my story to remind fellow survivors that there is hope. You are not alone and your past does not define the beautiful fulfilling life you are capable of living.”
