EXPERIENCE OF DOMESTIC, SEXUAL AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE IN DUBLIN?S
NORTH INNER CITY.
INTRODUCTION.
SAOL is an all-female drug rehabilitation and education service based
on Amiens Street Dublin 1. SAOL have been working with Women from the
North inner city who are impacted by addiction, trauma, poverty, and
other issues for **Apply on the website** years. In **Apply on the
website** in response to Women presenting with an experience and
domestic sexual and gender-based violence SAOL applied and
successfully secure 3 years funding through Rethink Ireland for DAVINA
(Domestic Abuse and Violence is Never Acceptable). DAVINA is a peer
partnership programme that works with and for women who experience
Addiction and DSGBV it is both a psycho educational programme with a
strong focus on Advocating for women who experience this dual issue.
BACKGROUND
This project seeks to increase awareness and understanding on the
issue, scope and impact of addiction and domestic abuse on the North
inner City to strengthen advocacy and organizational capacity to
respond more effectively to women who are experiencing addiction and
domestic abuse. Currently women who have this dual issue experience a
binary approach and are often excluded form services due to their
addiction and are not made safe from their abusers because of a lack
of understanding and response to women in addiction and domestic
abuse. This project will ultimately increase evidence to amplify
advocacy on behalf of this community. The only service currently
working with Women who experience addiction and domestic abuse is SAOL
through the DAVINA Programme however we seek to increase evidence to
influence change in attitudes in An Garda Siochana, Domestic Abuse
services and addiction services.
Scoping the numbers of women who experience DV and Addiction in the
North Inner city through quantitative and qualitative research will
amplify this hidden but insidious issue which will continue to
compromise the safety, security and healthy outcomes of women,
families and this community if remained unaddressed.
