One in Four - One In Four offers a voice to and support for people who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual violence. They are based in Dublin and England. They say

"We exist to give voice to the experience of people who have been sexually abuse and to provide a space that by its very existence challenges feelings of shame and self blame. In the often perceived hopelessness and despair of such trauma the reality of meeting another, one who has undertaken that journey themselves, offers hope and encouragement. The creation of a community that bears witness to the isolating and silenced reality of sexual abuse fundamentally changes that reality"
