Tánaiste and Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald today launched the Women's Aid Impact Report for 2015.
The report details 12,041 contacts made to its National Freephone Helpline and Dublin based one to one support services in 2015, during which 16,375 disclosures of domestic abuse against women were made.
In the same year, the organisation heard 5,966 disclosures of abuse of children. Women's Aid reveals disclosures of abuse made to its frontline staff and volunteers highlight once again the horrific range of violence and abuse being used by abusive men against women and children.
