Women’s Aid is a national organisation working to prevent and address the impact of domestic violence including coercive control since 1974. We want to see an equal society for all with a zero tolerance of all forms of violence against women. We run the 24hr National Freephone Helpline 1800 341 900, which is available 7 days a week. The National Helpline is a listening service and provides practical information and support as well as referral to local independent domestic violence services and refuges across the country. This service can provide support in over 200+ languages. The Helpline team also provide support through the National Instant Message Support Service on www.womensaid.ie. We also provide face to face and court support services and carrying out training, public awareness and campaigning work.
