Last year in Ireland, Women’s Aid had the highest year on record of disclosures of domestic abuse. Reports of physical violence was up a staggering 74%.
For men who want to be part of the solution to the problem of domestic violence, @Womens_Aid have an Ally Action list which can be found at the link below, thank you.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
We urge anyone who has in the past, or may be currently suffering domestic, sexual or gender-based violence to contact any Garda station, or in an emergency, call 999/112.

In 2024, sixteen of Ireland's Higher Education Institutions are coming together to say ‘Every 11 Minutes, a woman is killed. #NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women’.
For the next 16 days, we will share the same key messages and light our buildings orange in solidarity with all women who have or are experiencing Gender-Based Violence. We will also offer online and in-person training for all staff and students during these 16 days.

#LetsTalkAboutSuicide is an online programme that instils hope – it empowers people to make a difference and reminds us that preventing suicide is possible, even in the small everyday conversations and interactions that we have with others.

Our data indicates that almost a quarter of first year students are feeling lonely often or always.
We've worked with students to develop a new toolkit for students, to crowd source strategies for building belonging. Check it out:
