Founder of Eist, Mullingar's Hazel Behan is protesting against the allowed use of victims' counselling notes.
The Minister for Justice will today propose his amendments to the bill allowing victims' counselling notes to be used in sexual assault cases.
Instead of banning the practice, he will suggest a separate judicial hearing take place to determine if the therapy records of a victim can be passed over as evidence to the alleged perpetrator and their legal team.
Sexual assault survivors, therapists and campaigners with ROSA gathered outside of the Department of Justice today to protest the amendment.
They say the practice should be fully banned, because it is mysogynistic and re-traumatises victims.
Mullingar's Hazel Behan, a survivor of sexual assault, says victims are forced to choose between seeking justice and going to therapy:
