dvas

From the establishment of DVAS in 2003 to the present day, our vision has remained constant. DVAS works for a society where women and children are supported to live free from all forms of violence and abuse. Our contribution towards the attainment of that vision is to:
 Provide support to women who experience domestic abuse and other forms of gender based violence through a range of free, confidential and accessible front-line services that focus on maximizing women and children’s safety,
 Raise awareness of the issue of violence against women and to
 Influence relevant institutions in Sligo, Leitrim and West Cavan to ensure that women and their children have access to their human rights, safety, accountability and justice.
As a feminist and human rights organisation, our services are client lead and all of our work is underpinned by values of equality, justice and mutual respect.
