One in Three is an artistic collaboration between Women's Aid and visual artist Louis Haugh. The work has been funded by Dublin City Council, having been proposed by People Before Profit Councillor Hazel de Nortúin.
The art work, which will be posted online tomorrow, takes its design idea from the statistic that one in three women have experienced domestic violence in Ireland. Using a reserved colour scheme, this statistic is made visible in a powerful yet considered way.
Names included on national flags are a reminder that domestic violence affects women that we know and care for, and also reflect the diverse community of women living in Ireland today.
One in Three is part of the international campaign of 16 Day of Activism Against Gender-based Violence and will be visible along the River Liffey from November 25th until December 10th 2026.
People Before Profit Councillor Hazel de Nortúin said, "The aim of this campaign is to support victims and survivors of gender based violence. We chose to highlight that 1 in 3 are now affected by gender based violence, an increase from 1 in 4.
“We need to do more to combat violence, in particular against women, and children, and it's welcome to have the support of Dublin City Council with this. We aim to expand the campaign in the coming years."
