Domestic Violence Soars in Ireland

Domestic violence surged last year, with a 33% spike in reports—over 62,000 disclosures, including nearly 5,000 involving children. Abuse didn’t end when victims left; 1,500 cases occurred during or after pregnancy, and threats ranged from murder to child abduction. Over 500 women suffered strangulation, nearly 1,000 faced stalking. One in three Irish women has experienced abuse. Housing shortages, legal delays, and soaring costs block escape routes. Urgent policy action and funding are needed. Help is available: call Women’s Aid at 1834 1900. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
