Safe Ireland advises Hosts on how to spot signs of domestic violence

By ·
· ,

Whilst the overwhelming majority of stays take place with no issues, Airbnb is committed to putting safety first. That’s why we teamed up with Safe Ireland to hold a Meet the Experts webinar to help Hosts spot the signs of domestic violence.

To continue promoting responsible hosting and to support the work taking place through the Airbnb and Safe Ireland partnership, we have created a guide to help the Host community recognise the signs of domestic violence and know how to stay safe and vigilant while hosting.

Recommendations include putting safety first, listening to a guest’s needs and being aware of controlling behaviours.

About Airbnb

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals across over 220 countries and regions. Travel on Airbnb keeps more of the financial benefits of tourism with the people and places that make it happen. Airbnb has generated billions of dollars in earnings for Hosts, most of whom are individuals listing the homes in which they live. Among Hosts who report their gender, more than half are women, and one in five employed Hosts are either teachers or healthcare workers. Travel on Airbnb also has generated more than $4 billion in tax revenue around the world. Airbnb has helped advance more than 1,000 regulatory frameworks for short-term rentals, including in 80% of our top 200 geographies. In late 2020, to support our continued expansion and diversification, we launched the City Portal to provide governments with a one-stop shop that supports data sharing and compliance with local registration rules. We continue to invest in innovations and tools to support our ongoing work with governments around the world to advance travel that best serves communities.
