Domestic violence victims 'hiding in sheds' to call Meath service for help

Meath Women's Refuge and Support Services manager Sinead Smith.

Domestic violence victims are calling for help while hiding in sheds, say a Meath refuge and support service who are facing a "humongous challenge" to contact women in danger during the lockdown.

Meath Women's Refuge and Support Services is now urging women and children who have no escape from their abuser to use the 2km restriction zone get out and look for help where safe to do so.
