UCD Student's Rape Aftermath: Image Abuse, Denied Exams

Thousands of students rallied at University College Dublin following a distressing image of a naked, bruised, and unconscious medical student, Maeve, who was allegedly raped in 2023. Despite her pregnancy and subsequent termination, the university denied her request to sit crucial exams, pushing her to repeat a year and stalling her medical degree. The image resurfaced in a WhatsApp group, and the university was accused of offering no help. The UCD Students Union and Dublin Rape Crisis Centre held a rally, highlighting flaws in the universitys handling of sexual violence. The university is assisting the Gardaí investigation and providing support, but the case underscores urgent gaps in campus responses to survivors needs.
