About Women’s Aid
Women’s Aid is a national frontline organisation working to stop domestic violence in Ireland since 1974. Every day, we prevent and address the impact of domestic violence, including coercive control and all forms of abuse against women and children.
overview
“I rang Women’s Aid and it was the first time I felt like someone really took me seriously, and understood what I was feeling and the damage that had been done to me. Women’s Aid was able to help me, as well as give me legal information and emotional support.”

history
Since 1974, we have been working in Ireland to make women and children safe from domestic violence by offering free, confidential support and providing a range of services to help women break free from domestic abuse and begin to rebuild their lives. We're here to listen, believe and support women being subjected to physical, emotional, economic and sexual abuse by a partner or ex.
