Domestic Abuse Disclosures to Women’s Aid were at a Record High in 2025
The Women’s Aid Annual Impact Report 2025 reveals that the organisation recorded 62,275 disclosures of abuse against women and children during 37,790 contacts last year. Disclosures in 2025 increased by 33% on 2024, which is also a record high for the Women’s Aid National Freephone Helpline and face-to-face support services. The significant growth in disclosures illustrates sustained high levels of violence against women, but also a greater public understanding of what constitutes domestic abuse and deeper engagement with Women’s Aid services.
The Annual Impact Report 2025 also provides an in-depth overview of all of the work of the organisation to prevent and address the impacts of domestic abuse and create an equal Ireland with a zero tolerance of all forms of violence against women.
