About Irish Survivors
Importantly, women and men who experienced the care system run by religious orders are referred to as ‘Survivors’. After all, whilst these individuals may have been victims of neglect, abuse and assault, they survived it, and deserve to be recognised for their resilience rather than what happened to them.
What We Do
The Irish Women Survivors Support Network (IWSSN) supports, advises and campaigns for Survivors of the Irish institutional care system who live across the UK and attended institutions between the 1930s to 1990s.
Support Us
At IWSSN, we wouldn’t be able to offer such a broad and extensive range of services to Survivors living in the UK without the kind and generous support of volunteers, the Women’s Group, funders, like-minded organisations and politicians.
