flag Ireland’s housing shortage forces many abused women to stay in violent homes to avoid homelessness, the National Women’s Council says.

flag Ireland's housing crisis is trapping women in abusive relationships, with many forced to choose between enduring violence or becoming homeless, according to the National Women’s Council. flag The group warns that severe housing shortages and lack of safe, permanent alternatives leave survivors—especially lone parents, Traveller and Roma women, and those in international protection—vulnerable, with official numbers likely undercounting the true scale. flag The council is urging legal changes to let women and children stay in their homes while abusers are removed, emphasizing housing stability as key to safety and recovery. flag Its findings will inform the government’s upcoming Child and Family Homelessness Action Plan.
