She was prostituted for seven years in Dublin and other Irish cities, beginning when she was 15 years old. In 1998, at the age of 22, she managed to extricate herself from prostitution. At 24, she returned to education and completed a degree in journalism at Dublin City University, were she won the Hybrid Award for excellence in journalism.
Rachel speaks internationally on prostitution and sex trafficking, including talks at the United Nations in New York and Boston’s Harvard University, and volunteers with young girls in residential care, teaching them about the harms and dangers of prostitution. Paid For, the story of her prostitution experience and a searing analysis of the prostitution industry, has been translated into Italian and German and has been praised worldwide for its bravery, honesty and insightfulness.
