Call for action as violence against women at 'crisis levels'

The IHREC said the Government should implement a multi-agency domestic homicide review.

The Government must urgently review its policy on domestic homicide as violence against women has “reached crisis levels in Ireland”, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) has said. 

The commission has called for action after an “alarming rise in the number of women killed in Ireland” last year.
