## Resource

At 77, Dr. Mary Harney, a human rights champion born in a mother and baby home, earned her PhD — the crowning achievement of a lifelong journey that began at 42 with her first degree. A survivor turned activist, she’s authored a thesis on human rights education and resilience, and her story, featured in the acclaimed documentary Testimony, inspires others to build community through shared struggle. Celebrated by the University of Galway and hailed as a “resister in chief,” her milestone proves that education knows no age limit — and that perseverance transforms lives.
