Men and boys in the West of Ireland daring to deliver for our partners, sisters, friends and mothers.

Can we dare to imagine an Ireland without Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control of women, girls and young children? Can we imagine the transformed lives of thousands in communities across Ireland: how safer, healthier and happier they would feel?

Well, men and boys in the West of Ireland think it’s time for us to stop dreaming – and start acting.

We can play a crucial role in helping to eradicate this hidden terror.

That’s what Man Up West is all about.

This is our latest Man Up campaign, which has been inspiring men to stand against domestic violence, to challenge abuse and support women and children since 2012.
