CW: femicide, gender based violence

Shockingly in November 2026, the number of femicides in the Republic of Ireland has ALREADY doubled compared to 2025.

Meanwhile, the rate in the North continues to be the second highest in Western Europe.

At this time, we especially remember 27 year old Sarah Montgomery in Co Down - details of which are particularly distressing in the news this week. We are also thinking of 39 year old Carrie Mullane, mother of 4, from Moyross. All our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones at this time. 💔

All over the world, this intentional killing of women and girls at the hands of violent men (men usually known to them) is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. .

25 November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of 16 days of activism.

A Special Committee on Gender Based Violence will be established soon in the Dáil with Solidarity TD and Rosa founding member, Ruth Coppinger, as its chair.

This is exciting news for campaigners and activists.

Rosa Limerick will mark 25N this year by hosting a public workshop & information session about this committee. Come listen to a researcher who will be working on this committee, among other guests.

Tell us what you would like to see done locally, nationally, internationally in order to address the epidemic of gender based violence.
