Dumfries and Galloway Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women Partnership (DAVAWP)

1 in 4 women in the UK and 1 in 5 in Scotland will experience domestic abuse from a partner in her lifetime. We say this is too many; no one should suffer domestic abuse.

Domestic Abuse can also happen in LGBT relationships and can be experienced by men in heterosexual relationships too.

Please go to the Domestic Abuse page for more information.

Violence Against Women is a violation of Human Rights (United Nations 1996). Millions of women all over the world suffer different forms of violence - physical, sexual, psychological and economic - both within and outside their homes.
