Research shows, irrespective of social status, educational achievement, affluence, or geographical location, at some point in their lives, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse, with long term and often profound adverse effects on individuals and their children.  The support offered by DAVSS and its volunteers aims to break the cycle of abuse and enable survivors to take control of their lives again and improve life opportunities for their children who are often traumatised by their experiences. 

We want to help raise awareness of the issue and the help DAVSS can offer.
