DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCACY SERVICE (SLIGO, LEITRIM & WEST CAVAN) COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (Sligo, Leitrim & West Cavan) is a charitable organisation dedicated to providing free, confidential support for women experiencing domestic violence, as well as for their friends and family. Operating a dedicated helpline from 10 am to 5 pm, Monday-to-Friday, the service offers a safe, non-judgemental space where callers can share their stories, explore options and receive information about the range of assistance available.

Key specialisations include one-to-one meetings with trained support workers, outreach visits to safe locations for those unable to travel, and court accompaniment to ensure women are not left vulnerable during legal proceedings. The advocacy team also engages with relevant agencies on behalf of clients, helping them to access rights, entitlements and protective measures. By combining professional assistance with compassionate advocacy, DVAS empowers women to make informed decisions and move towards a life free from fear.

Based in the Sligo, Leitrim and West Cavan region, the service is a vital resource for anyone seeking help or guidance on domestic violence issues across these communities.
