IRISi is a social enterprise that aims to improve the healthcare response to gender-based violence. Established in 2017, they have built a network of partners who share their vision of creating sustained change. Their goal is to ensure that gender-based violence is consistently recognized and addressed as a health issue.

IRISi offers a range of products and services to support their mission. They support the local commissioning, implementation, maintenance, and growth of the IRIS program, providing bid development, training for trainers, and ongoing support. Additionally, they collaborate with partners to develop innovative, evidence-based health interventions for those affected by gender-based violence.

The scale of the problem is vast, with 26% of women experiencing domestic abuse in their lifetime. Domestic abuse has devastating health impacts, affecting both physical and mental health. IRISi recognizes the importance of healthcare services in addressing this issue and aims to provide expert advice and consultancy in the field of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and health.

Through their interventions, IRIS and ADViSE, IRISi has made significant strides in improving the healthcare response to gender-based violence. With success stories from healthcare professionals and ongoing projects, they continue to make a positive impact. Partnering with organizations like AVA, SafeLives, Imkaan, the University of Bristol CAPC, and the Health Foundation, IRISi works collaboratively to end gender-based violence and abuse
