COPE Galway is commemorating its 60th anniversary this year.
COPE Galway, Galway's homeless, domestic abuse and senior support service, is commemorating it's 60th anniversary this year. Members of COPE Galway's team will discuss one of the most pressing issues in Ireland today – domestic abuse.
Gillian McNamee, Head of COPE Galway's Domestic Abuse Services, and CEO Michael Smyth, will discuss how society's response to gender-based violence has evolved since COPE Galway's refuge first opened its doors in 1981.
This talk will also feature the unfiltered voice of a victim/survivor.
Elaine Feeney, poet and novelist, will moderate the event. Her latest book is Let Me Go Mad in my Own Way.
