This contribution will help Women’s Aid to enhance crucial local services, elevating quality across the sector and lifesaving support.As part of a wider commitment, Airbnb is also working with Women’s Aid to provide specialised training for our staff and Hosts, empowering them to recognise and respond to signs of abuse.

As we continue our journey, supporting various organisations via the Airbnb Community Fund in 2024 marks a significant step towards tackling domestic and digital violence across Europe.

At Airbnb, we are very pleased the UK government has announced they are pressing ahead with a short term lets registration scheme for England. Airbnb has long led calls for the introduction of such a scheme because it helps strike the right balance. It will give local authorities the information they need to make informed decisions to tackle any local issues while protecting tourism and the everyday people who benefit from sharing their space with visitors. With this significant step now taken, we can get on with doing what we do best - enabling Hosts to provide unique, affordable experiences and helping to put money in the pockets of everyday families and local businesses.

What a joy it is to team up with #OpenCities to support the 2023 Open House Festival, celebrating the opening up of some of the Capital’s most architecturally impressive buildings that Londoners walk past every day. Our partnership is founded on the mutual belief that London is a city best shared, working to open up homes; and in the process helping people to share great spaces, design and stories. Roll on September! #airbnb #openhousefestival #design #homesharing #openhomes https://lnkd.in/ejgwwEHY

Today is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and I have been honoured to spend it in Dublin to launch the Safe at Home sanctuary scheme alongside our partners Safe Ireland. Funded by a €250,000 donation from Airbnb and delivered by Safe Ireland and their experienced team of service providers, the Safe at Home sanctuary scheme will expand previously unavailable protections for women and children escaping coercion and abuse.Airbnb started working with Safe Ireland in June 2020 with aninitiativeto provide free hotel emergency accommodation for domestic violence survivors across Ireland during the pandemic. We subsequently launched together a Survivors Fund in 2021, and we are proud to continue our collaboration with the announcement of the Safe at Home sanctuary scheme.It has been a humbling experience to work with the Safe Ireland team, led by the phenomenal Mary McDermott, and hear directly from front line service providers who work tirelessly to ameliorate the devastating impacts of domestic abuse, which sadly remains systemic, endemic and horrifyingly prevalent in almost every country in the world. Thank you to the Airbnb team, particularly Jean Hoey, Derek Nolan, Luke Impett and Theo Lomas, for your incredible efforts.
