The National Women’s Council has launched a pilot project aimed at bridging gaps in domestic and sexual violence support for migrant women which will encourage them to come forward.

The initiative, launched on Thursday, is being rolled out in Dublin’s north inner city, which has seen significant growth in its migrant population in recent years.
