Ireland in the mid-20th Century was ruled by the Catholic Church's harsh misogynistic values. Falling pregnant out of wedlock was a mortal sin in the church's eyes. Thousands of mothers and babies perished behind the walls of the oppressive mother and baby homes... but today I bring you one story of survival. This is Clodagh Malone's story.   Please subscribe for more true crime content & please consider leaving a 5-star review.

Imagine growing up in a time and a place where women are second class citizens, and sexuality is not only a taboo topic, but exposing the fact that you’ve been sexually active will get you socially ostracized,  locked up and even possibly killed. This is the story of Ireland’s Catholic Mother & Baby Homes that operated between the 1920’s and the 1990’s. Support the show by joining our Patreon!
