An exhibition titled One Day. One Refuge. has opened at Parliament Buildings. It focuses on experiences of women and children seeking refuge from domestic abuse. The display uses visual elements and personal accounts to address violence against women and girls.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick stated the exhibition supports the council's efforts against violence towards women and girls. She noted it emphasises human experiences over data and covers themes of endurance, healing, safety and belonging.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly MLA described the exhibition as a view into lives affected by domestic abuse. She said the accounts from one day reflect a daily reality for many survivors and call for continued action.

Junior Minister Aisling Reilly called the exhibition a reminder of violence's effects on lives. She praised the women who shared their stories for aiding others and highlighted it as an Executive priority. Reilly thanked Women’s Aid and Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council for their support.

Gillian Creevy, CEO of Women’s Aid ABCLN, said the project examines daily life in refuge. She mentioned ongoing therapeutic aid alongside initiatives like a schools programme on healthy relationships and a workplace charter to spot abuse signs early.

The exhibition remains open to the public during normal Parliament Buildings hours until 24 March. Visitors should confirm current times and access details beforehand.
