Jackie Fox | S1 Ep. 5 | Molloy Twins Podcast

Jackie's life was completely flipped upside down in 2018, when her young daughter Nicole died by suicide at home, as the result of extensive bullying.

The bullying was happening for a couple of years before the tragedy, but unfortunately there was no legislation at the time to save Nicole. As a result, she had to ensure the torture, in the hope it would stop. And Jackie had to watch her beautiful daughter deteriorate, going from her happy, bubbly little girl, to someone who was really struggling, and couldn't see a way out.

Jackie's response in the aftermath, was to try make sure that what happened to Nicole would never happen to another person again. She has spent the last 5 years campaigning, marching, petitioning, and eventually succeeding in bringing 'Coco's Law' into effect in Ireland - now making online abuse, cyber bullying, and the sharing of intimate images a crime punishable by imprisonment. The exact kind of legislation that Nicole needed, but didn't exist.

Jackie has recently been travelling, speaking to members of the EU, with the ambition to bring 'Coco's Law' into effect all across Europe.

Jackie's strength and courage in sharing her story is incredible. This episode will bring you on an emotional rollercoaster, hopefully leaving you in a place of feeling hopeful for the future, knowing it will be a better, kinder place off the back of the work that people like Jackie are doing!

We cannot thank her enough for her time, coming in and sharing the space with us!

We really hope you enjoy the episode. And if you are in a position to support Jackie to allow her continue doing the great work she does - you can do so by contacting her at 'www.cocoslaw.ie'.

P.S. Apologies in advance, but we did have some audio issues with this episode! We have done our best to clean it up, and it is 99% perfect. Just a heads up incase you hear random robot noises at random points throughout lol.
