Now the real work begins on 'ambitious' domestic violence plan, writes AilbheConneely

The word"ambitious" has been used to describe the zero tolerance strategy by the Government towards domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

The aim was to prevent domestic and sexual violence, improve services to victims and hold perpetrators to account. In 2020, the national frontline support service for women affected by domestic abuse, Women's Aid, revealed that it’s 24-hour helpline had responded to 41% more calls since the start of the pandemic compared to the previous year.

An online hub on consent and sexual awareness across the third-level education sector will also be rolled out.
