Description

Domestic violence is happening right across the North West.

That's according to DVAS manager, Carmel McNamee, who highlighted the situation following a report published today by Women's Aid Ireland.

The issue of domestic abuse in Ireland was addressed in the study, and it is a concern reflected locally.

The organisation's Annual Report for 2023 outlines over 40,000 disclosures - up 18 percent on the previous year.

Ms McNamee says they are available to support women and can be contacted on 071 9141515, or via email on support@dvas.ie.
