Day Eight: Children need refuge space with their mothers
Posted on December 02, 2014
In 2013, there were 2,052 admissions of women and 2,786 admissions of children to refuge in Ireland (Safe Ireland Statistics 2013).
However, on over 3,494 occasions, services were unable to accommodate women and their children because the refuge was full or there was no refuge in their area.
Studies of homelessness in Ireland continually cite domestic violence as a major reason for women and children becoming homeless in Ireland.
