Limerick group at coalface of domestic abuse

MORE than 100 female victims of domestic abuse have been helped by a Limerick-based group since it began operating three years ago.

Southill Domestic Abuse Project is at the coalface of helping women who are victims of violence.

The project was set up in response to local women’s needs after 75% of those surveyed said they knew someone in a violent relationship and nearly half of them had experienced violence themselves.
