Now is the moment
we can act – together.

Across Ireland one in four women live with suffocating abuse from someone they once loved and trusted.  We rarely know it is happening. Or, if we do, we don’t know what to say, or do.

But Women’s Aid does 

And we need your help

Your support will help in so many ways

More women will be able to access the National Freephone Helpline that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so no matter when a woman makes the call, there is someone at the other end of the line to listen, to help.

Women who are abused while they are pregnant can get support from our dedicated maternity outreach worker.

We can continue our Emergency, Security and Legal Funds for women engaged with our face-to-face frontline services, providing an essential lifeline and providing them with some crucial financial independence.

We’ll be able continue campaigns like Too Into You, protecting future generations by educating young people what healthy relationships look like and highlighting the red flags of intimate relationship abuse.
