Mission Statement
Safe Ireland is the national policy, service support and development hub for 37 specialist domestic abuse services in Ireland who respond to the safety, emotional and practical needs of women and children experiencing domestic abuse and coercive control. We collaborate closely with these frontline domestic violence services across communities in Ireland, state agencies, civic society organisations, business, community, and cultural organisations throughout the country. We work directly with women and children to bring their experiences and voices into research, policy, service development and violence prevention programmes. We are dedicated to transforming how the whole system, including government departments and other services, respond to domestic violence. Part of achieving that is helping people to better understand the problem, its impact and how to respond to it. We do this through training, public awareness campaigns, creating dialogue and encouraging creative and innovative thinking about the solutions. Our core strategic focus is to change culture and transform the response to gender based violence in Ireland and to progress towards realising our vision for a safe Ireland.
About This Cause
Safe Ireland is the National Social Change Agency working to eradicate domestic violence (DV) in Ireland. We are a key part of the infrastructure in Ireland to transform the response and reduce the prevalence of domestic violence in Ireland. Our vision is for a Safe and Vibrant Ireland for all. We believe that Ireland can become the safest country in the world for women and children. Our vision is based on the belief that that it is a human right of every single individual to live free from violence. Can you imagine an Ireland where a new generation can be reared without violence in their lives? We want to change culture so that domestic violence is not tolerated in our communities, where victims feel safe and supported to come forward to report domestic violence and abuse and where offenders are deterred and punished for their crimes. Through our work Safe Ireland “centre stage” the needs and experiences of women who are impacted by domestic violence. We work to bring public voice and understanding to the causes and impact of domestic violence in order to improve responses and reduce the prevalence of violence in Ireland. We collaborate in our work with 37 specialist frontline DV services throughout Ireland who are members of Safe Ireland.
