Ireland: Urgent call to address femicide in national Gender-Based Violence strategy
Thursday, February 13, 2025
Ireland is facing an urgent need to address femicide, as the state’s current inability to define the term leads to underreporting and challenges in assessing trends. Without a clear definition, efforts to prevent gender-based violence remain inadequate. Immediate action is needed to recognize and combat femicide as a distinct and pressing issue within Ireland’s broader strategy against gender-based violence.
