Lady Gaga's Tattoo Inspired a Campaign Against Sexual Violence

Lady Gaga, the famous pop-star, has become of the world's biggest activists in recent years. She has been politically minded and outspoken since breaking out into the mainstream all the way back in 2008. She's donated tons of cash to charities and organizations looking to better the lives of people who have been maligned or marginalized.

The Cork Sexual Violence Centre in Ireland has gotten permission to reproduce a tattoo that Lady Gaga debuted and got with 50 sexual abuse survivors after their performance at the Oscars.

The Cork Sexual Violence Centre is kicking off 16 days of activism against gender-based violence and will be handing out transfers of the design during the entire run. The designs will be given to students at third-level campuses around Cork city.

The design was created by Jacqueline Lin, who combined an infinity symbol with a white rose, Gaga's favorite flower. Lin was one of the survivors on stage with Gaga during the Oscars performance.

Mary Crilly, the director of the Cork Centre said, "We want to raise awareness about sexual assault and the message we want to get out to survivors is, ‘Don’t feel isolated, there is help out there.'"
