Almost 40 Irish female artists have recorded a song to raise funds for an organisation which supports women and children affected by domestic abuse.
There has been a 25% rise in domestic violence calls to gardaí since the start of the pandemic. All money raised from Irish Women in Harmony's cover of 'Dreams' by 'The Cranberries' will go to Safe Ireland.
Safe Ireland said services are experiencing an increase in calls and needs, particularly for women with multiple children. It is concerned about the double damage that lockdown, alongside abuse, may have had.
A refuge which is one of 39 Safe Ireland services around the country says that it has seen a rise of 50% in calls to its helpline.
