500,000 women over the age of 15 in Ireland will face coercive control, physical, sexual, emotional or economic abuse from a current or former partner.

9 in 10 women who have died violently in Ireland have been killed by a man they knew. Over half were killed by an intimate partner or ex-partner.

Every 5 minutes someone reaches out to Women’s Aid for information and support.

Women’s Aid exists to create an equal Ireland with zero tolerance of domestic abuse, and all forms of violence against women. For more information on Womens Aid, or to make a donation now, please visit: https://www.womensaid.ie.
