'The Other Half is a new alliance of men’s and women’s organisations working together to end men’s violence against women. We are SAFE Ireland, Rape Crisis Network Ireland, and the Men’s Development Network.
Men make up half the population. For a variety of reasons, violence against women has been largely tackled by women and has been seen as a women’s issue.
We believe it is time to work with men – or the other 50% of the population - as important allies against violence.'

Ø SAFE Ireland which is the national representative body for 41 frontline women’s domestic violence services in Ireland www.safeireland.ie ;
Ø Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) which is the national representative body for Rape Crisis Centres in Ireland www.rcni.ie and
