Stories

The stories that are hardest to tell, need to be told

From Oscar Wilde to Edna O’Brien, we pride ourselves on being a nation of storytellers. But there are some stories no one should have to tell. Stories of harassment, abuse, rape; stories of violence. These stories are hidden in plain sight across our country, more being created every day and we’re shedding light on them now. Showcasing the humanity behind the statistics and encouraging people to join in stopping these stories.

Let’s stop domestic, sexual and gender-based violence being a part of anyone’s story.

Tackling Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (DSGBV), in all its forms, is a priority for Cuan which has lead responsibility as a statutory agency under the aegis of the Department of Justice to tackle such violence.

Here you can find information on:

supports available to survivors of DSGBV;
how you can help rid our society of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV);
what Cuan is doing to reach that goal and the power of telling stories of DSGBV.

Always remember that if you, or anyone else, are in immediate danger call 999 or 112 or go to your local Garda Station.
