One in Four Ireland is a registered charity (CHY 15289) with offices in Dublin, Ireland.
Our Purpose
One in Four offers a voice to and support for women and men who have experienced sexual abuse and/or sexual violence and also to their family and friends.
In Ireland research has shown that one in four children (27%) will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18 (view source of this statisitc). Society has thus far been unwilling to face up to the deep rooted nature of this problem or the sheer scale of the long term damage it leaves in its wake. Examples of this in documneted in The Ferns Report - the Ferns Inquiry was called for by One in Four.

Statistics on sexual violence in Ireland can be found in The SAVI Report,which was carried out by the Dublin Rape Crisis and The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland 2002.
