Minute’s silence for 107 murdered women
Women’s Aid held a silent vigil outside the Dáil to mark International Day Against Violence Against Women. More than 80% of the women were killed by a man they knew - almost half by a current or former partner.
“The seriousness of the levels of violence against women in Ireland today and the failure of the system to keep women safe cannot be over-emphasised,” said Women’s Aid director Margaret Martin.
