Women’s Aid NI would again like to pass on our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Ashling Murphy ahead of her funeral mass today.

Our thoughts are with them at this incredibly difficult moment as she is laid to rest.

Bailey calls for men to act to end gender-based violence Clare Bailey MLA joined a vigil outside Parliament Buildings this morning (Monday 17th January) in memory of Ashling Murphy. The Green Party NI Leader said: “The horrific murder of Ashling Murphy has understandably led to an outpouring of grief and outrage across the island, as demonstrated by the...

Hi! It’s been a rough week for women, I really hope you’re all doing ok.
Whilst we are filled with sadness following the murder of Ashling Murphy, it has reignited a fire in our bellies to raise more money for the astounding services that support victims of domestic violence in all its forms.

So here it is! The incredible has given us this beautiful limited edition scarf to be raffled off, the range doesn’t even drop until April and we’re so lucky to even get a sneak peek!

A few words from Sara:

‘Éadach ‘The Dreamer’ is ’s tribute to early 20th century Belfast.. to the Millies, the incredibly skilled women whose beautiful work contributed so much to the prosperity of the city. And a homage to the elegant art deco architecture and city life of the time. A print for workers and dreamers.

The scarf is limited edition, a 130cm crepe de chine square. This is a one-off pre-release exclusively for She Sells Sanctuary for Women’s Aid. The collection will launch in April 2022.’

CW: intimate partner abuse, violence, sexual violence, abuse

Women's Aid have seen almost 30,000 people contact them for their services in the past year, that's an increase of 43%. Covid restrictions and lockdowns have exacerbated the instance of violence against women.

https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2021/0622/1229591-domestic-violence-support/

This shadow pandemic of violence against women is an issue that ROSA raised in March of this year by holding a small, socially distanced protest. As a result, one of our local activists has received a fine of €500 from Gardaí for highlighting this issue and stewards at a Dublin protest have received lesser fines. Meanwhile, thousands of calls relating to intimate partner violence have gone unanswered by Gardaí!

ROSA will be challenging these fines and calling on Gardaí to prosecute perpetrators of domestic violence rather than those who are safely and responsibly highlighting the issue.

If you would like to donate towards our legal fund you can do so here: paypal.me/ROSAIreland

If you would like to sign our petition to call on the state to withdraw the fines you can do so here:
