Tuesday marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, yet this week alone, headlines have carried news of multiple attacks on women. Domestic and gender-based violence remains a pressing issue in Ireland, with the Tánaiste stating this week that “we have an epidemic of violence against women” but what do the figures show us about instances of violence, have we made progress, and what more needs to be done? To discuss, Anton is joined by:
Mary Hayes, Project Coordinator of Women’s Aid’s ‘Too Into You’ Project
Ellen O’Malley-Dunlop, Member of Grevio, the Council of Europe Human Rights Group on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and former CEO of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre
Barry Ward, Fine Gael TD and Criminal Barrister
