Do you wish Ireland and the world were safe and equal? Are you interested in learning more gender inequality and gender based violence or sharing your own experiences? Would you like to hear from writers, leaders, activists and experts from around the world? 

SpunOut.ie and Safe Ireland invite young people from across the country to The Safe World Summit 2018, October 22 & 23 in Dublin. Join us for two days of revolutionary thinking on issues of gender, inclusion, diversity, equality, peace, justice, safety, wellbeing, and courageous leadership. Together we believe it is possible to make our homes and communities free of gender based violence, but we need the help of young people to make this dream a reality.

Safe World Summit 2018

The Safe World Summit 2018 is a unique leadership and personal development event which is set to inspire and transform the lives of those in attendance and well beyond. The Summit will bring together some of the worlds brightest leaders to discuss, collaborate and debate how we change culture and transform the response to domestic violence to help make Ireland the safest country in the world. Some of the keynote speakers will include Dr. Edith Eger, Dr. Riane Eisler, Marai Larasi, Lynn Rosenthal, Katherine Zappone, and Ailbhe Smyth.

I am a young activist, changemaker, and/or artist. How can I participate in The Summit beyond just attending?

SpunOut.ie and Safe Ireland will be holding workshops leading up to the event to gather and prepare those who will attend the Summit, and helping them to gain skills and confidence to potentially contribute during the two days. These workshops will be held on Saturday October 13th and Sunday October 14th.

SpunOut.ie and Safe Ireland hope you will join us for this global gathering of thought leaders, innovators, and status quo disruptors, so that together we can understand new ways to heal, build resilience and restore the balance of equality.
