Clare Egan is an award-winning writer, editor and social entrepreneur based in Dublin, Ireland.
In 2023, I founded Life after Trauma (FKA Beyond Survival), an early-stage social enterprise which aims to help survivors of sexual violence feel less alone. In 2024, Life after Trauma was selected for Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Ideas Academy and the Rethink Start Your Own Social Enterprise Course. I have also worked with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre both as a phone counsellor on the helpline and accompanying people to the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit.
My writing has appeared in The Huffington Post, The Irish Times, The Irish Independent, The Irish Examiner, TheJournal.ie, Image Magazine, Púca, Scoop Magazine, Rogue, Longreads, GCN, and others. I won a Simon Cumbers Media Fund award to report on human rights abuses in Malawian prisons. I have written an as-yet-unpublished novel, and am working on my first non-fiction book.
