Women’s Aid, in collaboration with RedC, recently completed a nationally representative study of 500 young women and men in Ireland (aged 18-25), followed by a series of focus groups. The study explored their understanding of intimate relationship abuse including coercive control; their awareness of available supports including legislation, and; their attitudes to intervening if they thought someone they knew was experiencing abuse. This short document highlights some of the key findings from this study. The aim is for this to be a ‘conversation starter’ as part of Women’s Aid’s continuing commitment to engaging and collaborating with young people to prevent and combat intimate relationship abuse.
