Longford Women's Link

Longford Women’s Link (LWL) is a women’s centre based in the rural midlands town of Longford in Co. Longford, Ireland. Founded in 1995, our vision is that women in Co. Longford can fulfil their potential in a safe and equal society.

Equality

Since its establishment LWL has become the primary campaigner for women's equality in County Longford

The three integrated pillars of our work are:

1. Supporting individual women (services include domestic violence support, counselling, support for migrant women, childcare facilities including mobile childcare);
2. Building community capacity (education and training, supporting women’s collective action);
3. Lobbying and advocacy at local and national levels on gender equality issues.

LWL employs 20 full time staff and 15 part time Community Employment Scheme childcare workers and is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status.
