Monaghan investigated sexual harassment in the GMB in 2020. The Monaghan investigation followed the resignation of General Secretary Tim Roache and concluded that "bullying, misogyny, cronyism, and sexual harassment were endemic" in the union.[6][7][8] and that it was 'institutionally sexist'.[9]

Monaghan acted for IOPC, to prove "institutional discrimination" in the Metropolitan Police.[10][11]

In 2022 she acted for Maya Forstater in Forstater v. CGD Europe and others in a landmark case about “gender critical” beliefs and the Human Rights Act and Equality Act.
