In this episode, Ciara Regan speaks with social justice and human rights activist Caoimhe Butterly about the essential role of hope, reflection, and rest in sustaining activism. At the time of recording, Caoimhe was based on the island of Lesvos, Greece – a critical point on the migratory journey for tens of thousands seeking refuge and international protection.


Caoimhe reflects on the harsh realities of life in refugee camps, describing the disempowering limbo experienced by so many. Caoimhe also chats about solidarity work and the trial of rescue workers including Seán Binder for their efforts to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean.
