Domestic Violence Response

Domestic Violence Response (DVR) Galway is a rural-based community-led project responding to the issue of domestic violence in Galway City and County.

DVR offers free, one-to-one counselling, information, advocacy, support and court accompaniment to women who are experiencing, or who have experienced, violence or abuse in their homes. Our clients include thewomen who have grown up in abusive homes; the student in her mid-twenties, stalked by her ex-boyfriend; the woman in her early sixties who has spent decades with an abusive partner; the young mother who is trying to separate safely from her violent and controlling partner.  

We see these women every day. We provide them with a supportive and professional service so that they can end the cycle of abuse and rebuild their lives.

The project is managed by the board of directors and a management committee and employs seven part-time workers.


where your money goes

We provide women with a supportive and professional service so that they can end the cycle of abuse and rebuild their lives. We provide 126 direct client hours per week, supported by 56 administrative hours at a very modest €38 per hour.  Any donations will go towards maintaining our service hours and answering the continued need for expansion.

history

DVR was established in 1998 as a response to the needs of Connemara women who needed support. The service has been consistently growing over the years with a 20% increase in demand year-on-year.
