Thank you Sinéad. For your fearless voice and courageous light. You truly challenged an Ireland, and a world, that stifled women, children and anyone who didn't conform. Your power, your anger, your pain and fragility gave strength to many survivors to speak out. 💜

'She described waking up screaming and having problems sleeping. She said she would never be able to live on her own.' Sentences should fit the crime - short & suspended sentences are wholly unacceptable & send a very dangerous message to women, to abusers and to society.

Look a bit closer at the ads in today’s @Independent_ie and @suntimesireland . Domestic abuse including coercive control is still very much hidden in plain sight in Ireland. On #IWD2020 @womens_aid is partnering with @VodafoneIreland to raise awareness. Please share to help.

This situation cannot continue. It is an utter disgrace that with the highest levels of domestic abuse and femicide in recent memory, the vital work of @WomensAidNI is jeopardised.

Today, on International #HumanRightsDay , we remember the 264 women who have died violently in Ireland since our records began in 1996. Each woman killed violently is an outrage. An absolute tragic loss of life resulting in utter heartache and trauma for those left behind. 1/2

On #NollaigNamBan we thank and remember the contribution of the many women who, since our foundation nearly 50 years ago, have broken silences and taboos, created laws and provided support to women and children subjected to domestic abuse. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

The women we support are extraordinarily brave, resilient and determined but also face an onslaught of abuse. Living with and surviving domestic abuse can be exhausting. Sometimes it’s okay to rest and take on the world tomorrow.
