Key points in the Govt's new domestic violence plan

The Government has announced what it calls its"most ambitious" plan to date to tackle domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence .

In relation to the establishment of a statutory agency, Minister McEntee said:"We have set a timeline of 18 months. That obviously involves working with the sector, working with those who understand and know this space as to how we establish it in the best way possible.She added that she will be working with Tusla directly prior to any agency being set up as part of this plan.

There will also be new legislation to provide for the introduction of a specific offence of non-fatal strangulation, and a specific offence of stalking.When it comes to protection, the plan is to work to double the number of refuge spaces - an apartment-type unit where victims of domestic abuse can seek safety - over the lifetime of the strategy, from 141 to 282.

National sexual violence and national domestic violence prevalence studies are also set to be conducted alternately at five-year intervals.The strategy includes updated secondary school relationships and sexuality education curricula at junior and senior cycle to include consent, domestic violence, coercive control and safe use of the internet.

An online hub on consent and sexual awareness across the third-level education sector will also be rolled out.

When our government gets involved, numbers go up 😂

Helen Mc Entee & Co. recognise Racist Hate Crimes. They still refuse to recognise Misogyny Hate Crimes that are OBVIOUSLY Misogyny Hate based. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER than words (though she shout and publish them for all she’s worth)

How much did it cost to produce yet another report that will only gather dust. A Vision for Change (2006) rings a bell, one of many reports with cobwebs.

Any news of how the investigations into the 12 Gardai who were accused of domestic abuse during the pandemic ?

How can there be gender based violence when there's no such thing as gender?

That's all they will do talk about it because they wont do anything about it...

Is it dissolution of the Catholic Church?
