Watch Mia Döring's Powerful Tedx Griffith College Talk

Thursday, April 12, 2018

Following her honest and compelling interview with Ryan Tubridy this morning, a lot of people have been asking us where they can find Mia Doring's TEDxGriffith College talk. Well, it's right here at the bottom of this piece!
The reaction to Mia's piece where she speaks honestly and openly about being raped and how she's dealt with the aftermath was astounding, both when she spoke at Griffith College and again
today after the interview on RTÉ with Tubridy. We're proud to have hosted Mia and honoured that she choose to speak about this vitally important issue in front of our students and staff.

Mia is an inspiration to all for the intellectual weight she brings to any debate as well as for what no less an authority than President Michael D Higgins calls her "radical honesty".

It was an absolute honour to have her speak at her TEDxGriffith College event.

Below are just some of the reactions from listeners on social media.

Thank you for sharing your story. It was a great interview. It's so true that men need to talk about this too. And you definitely are brave!

This was such an honest interview. I really believe this young woman has moved this whole conversation further along than it has been up to now. If people listen to her Ted talk or the podcast of this we can make real progress. Thank you.

The radio just happened to be on in the background, when I heard this interview ... men & women need to call out predatory behaviour when they see it, you're so brave Mia, I wish you well
