Women’s Aid reports that disclosures of domestic violence and abuse to the charity rise by 33% in 2025 compared with the previous year. Multiple outlets cite the charity’s figures as reaching the highest level recorded. BreakingNews.ie reports a total of 62,275 disclosures in 2025, while other reporting describes the same overall increase without specifying an alternative figure. TheJournal.ie states that the vast majority of people who contacted Women’s Aid in 2025 were abused by a current or former partner, indicating that partner abuse is the dominant category among disclosures. RTE and other sources present the increase as a notable shift in the volume of reported incidents reaching the organisation. The charity also warns that the numbers reflect only a portion of the problem, describing the data as “the tip of the iceberg.” Overall, the reports focus on the increase in contacts/disclosures to Women’s Aid during 2025, the predominance of partner-related abuse among those seeking support, and the charity’s caveat that many cases may not be captured in its statistics.
