Councillor Eileen Lynch proposed the council run a media campaign working alongside SafeIreland, Women’s Aid and the National Women’s Council

Councillor Eileen Lynch said: “I’d like to acknowledge that of course both women and men experience gender-based violence, but the majority of victims are women and girls." File photo

A campaign is to be mounted by Cork County Council stressing physical and mental violence against women is totally unacceptable. 

It has been prompted by the recent killing of Ashling Murphy.
