This podcast series is brought to you by Meath Women’s Refuge & Support Services and is hosted by Elaine Keogh. Domestic violence is endemic in Ireland with 1 in 4 women affected throughout their lifetime. Conversations about domestic violence help create better understanding and awareness, reduce stigma and helps move us towards zero tolerance in society. Join us as we break down the myths and explore the realities around domestic violence, learn from the experiences of survivors, and encourage anyone that needs support for themselves or a loved one, to come forward for help. Meath Women’s Refuge & Support Services operate a 24 hour helpline for women in Meath available at 1800 46 46 46 or for more information visit www.dvservicesmeath.ie www.alwayshere.ie has a list of all national and local services for victims of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence in Ireland. We welcome feedback and ideas for future episodes at podcast@dvservicesmeath.ie We acknowledge and appreciate support from Meta that made production of this podcast possible.
