Webinar 9 - Erin Pizzey: Founder of the World's 1st Domestic Abuse Shelter

Alienated Children First (ACF) is delighted to have for their 9th public webinar - guest speaker veteran Human Rights and anti Domestic Vioence campaigner Erin Pizzey in conversation with ACF spokesperson.

Erin Patria Margaret Pizzey (born 19th February 1939) is an English human rights and domestic abuse advocate, and novelist. She is known for having started the first-ever domestic violence shelter that is still currently the largest shelter in the modern world, Refuge, (then known as Chiswick Women's Aid), in 1971 and helped set up the first shelter in Ireland's Harcourt Terrace in Dublin for both Women & Men. Erin as her name suggests is proud of her Mayo roots and has visited Ireland on many occasions. Like ACF, Erin advocates that Children must be protected primarily from both Male and Female abusers; and that they have to work together to raise awareness on the effects of domestic abuse on children and especially the emotional often lifelong lasting effects of Parental Alienation. She commends the Irish Government for its current initiatives in researching and consulting on parental alienation and how to address it effectively for the best interests of Irish Children.

Erin has been the subject of death threats and boycotts because of her balanced real experience with the issue of intimate partner violence where she concludes that most domestic violence is reciprocal and that women are equally as capable of violence as men. She is banned from the refuge she started and was not even mentioned at the recent celebration of their foundation in the House of Lords. Erin has penned a number of fiction and non-fiction books and has been interviewed by the media from all over the world for her historical groundbreaking human rights work.
