[email protected] A significant increase in the number of women seeking help for domestic abuse. Ardú mór ar líon na mban ag lorg cuidiú faoi íde sa mbaile. There was a 12% increase in the number of people contacting the support organisation Women's Aid last year compared to the previous year. Tháinig 12 faoin gcéad d'ardú ar an líon a bhí i dteagmháil leis an eagras tacaíochta Women's Aid anuraidh i gcomparáid leis an mbliain roimhe. Their annual report shows that more than 32,000 people sought their help in 2024 for various abuse situations, the highest number since they were founded 50 years ago. Léiríonn a dtuarascáil bhliantúil gur lorg níos mó ná 32,000 cabhair orthu i 2024 ar chúinsí éagsúla mí-úsáide, an líon is airde riamh ó bunaíodh iad 50 bliain ó shin. 10,000 cases involved physical abuse and assault. Bhain 10,000 cás le íde agus ionsaí fisiciúil. 2,000 were related to sexual abuse, a 30% increase in one year. Bhain 2,000 le mí-úsáid gnéis, 30 faoin gcéad d'ardú i n-imeacht bliana. 4,500 cases involved economic abuse. Bhain 4,500 cás le mí-úsáid eacnamúil. There was a 15% increase in emotional exhaustion. Bhí 15 faoin gcéad d'ardú ar íde mhothúchánach. The report also raises concerns about "inconsistent approaches by the Garda Síochána in particular cases". Léiríonn an tuarascáil freisin imní faoi "chur chuige neamhréir an Gharda Síochána i gcásanna ar leith". Women's Aid says that progress has been made in this regard over the past few years but they are still concerned about the lack of specialist training provided to Gardaí in training. Deir Women's Aid go bhfuil gabháil chun déanta ina leith sin le cúpla bliain anuas ach tá siad buartha fós faoina laghad traenála speisialta a churtar ar fáil do Ghardaí faoi oilliúnt. Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan has said that further training could be secured. Tá an tAire Dlí agus Cirt Jim O'Callaghan tar éis a rá go m'bfhéidir go bhféadfaí tuilleadh oiliúna a chinntiú. Women's Aid Chief Executive Sarah Benson says a unified Government approach and strategy is needed to tackle violence against women. Deir Príomhfheidhmeannach Women's Aid Sarah Benson go dteastaíonn cur chuige agus straitéis aontaithe Rialtais le ghabháil i ngleic leis an íde in aghaidh na mban. Máire Ní Bhraonáin will have more about that story on Nuacht TG4 at 7. Beidh tuilleadh faoin scéal sin ag Máire Ní Bhraonáin ar Nuacht TG4 ag a 7.
