Last Friday marked International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the beginning of this year's 16 days of activism. The campaign continues the theme of ending femicide. As the programme for Government acknowledges, there is an epidemic of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. One of the programme's tools to tackle that epidemic is a commitment to legislate for the introduction of domestic homicide reviews. When will that happen? The Taoiseach will understand from his engagements on the third national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence and with family members of victims that reassurance is now needed that the Government will deliver on its commitment to legislate for a system of independent domestic homicide reviews.
