Women Connecting

Close to Home

This is our first conversation about domestic violence and we look at the roots of Meath Women’s Refuge and Support Services and how it was set up in the 1980s.

We speak to Berny McMahon about the pioneering group of women in Navan that worked together to establish the refuge which, nearly forty years later, has helped thousands of women and children escaping abusive situations.

The current chairperson of Meath Women’s Refuge and Support Services, Sinead Gogan, talks about the services currently provided and exciting plans for the future.

The power of communication and connection resonate in this first episode.
