physical, emotional or sexual violence in the home, Foyle
Women’s Aid at 71280060 or after hours 7134 4499 can
give you support, help and information.
The Helpline is staffed by paid and voluntary workers, as
well as women who have experienced the benefits of Women's
Aid themselves. The self-help process which allows women to
take control of their own lives, underpins the work of Women's
Aid. They will discuss the practical and legal options available
to you and, where necessary, refer you onto a refuge, a local
Women’s Aid group or other agency that can help. Your
local Women’s Aid group may also offer aftercare or,
face-to-face support.
If you do decide to go to a refuge Women’s staff
and help you devise a safety plan for leaving.
