Safe Ireland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Safe Ireland (also styled as safeireland) is an Irish organisation dedicated to preventing and combatting domestic violence and abuse and running a Women's Refuge (MWSS).[1]

By its own report,[2] the vast majority of its member services work specifically with female and underage victims, not with adult male victims.

Its self-reported 2021 and 2022 funding were 1,892,546 EUR and 1,689,303 EUR, respectively.[1] Its main funding source is the governmental Child and Family Agency.[3]

As of November 2023, it reports having 37 member organisations spread out over Ireland.[4]

In 2016, it supported[5] an UN Women HeForShe event at which Hozier performed his song Cherry Wine.
