69-year-old Elizabeth Coppin lived through prison-like conditions when she attended so-called industrial schools and worked in the notorious Magdalene laundries in Ireland. The institutions were run by the Catholic church and there have been many stories of women who got out about the brutal way they were treated. Now Elizabeth has been given a hearing at the United Nations Committee Against Torture.
