Domestic and family violence
OUR VISION
To create violence-free space in our community that embraces equal opportunities and rights among women and men.
Domestic and family violence support
In recent years, we have seen Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) cases/clients at the level of separation or divorce. This prompted us to research whether or not our communities understand domestic and family violence indicators.
Our research revealed there is a big gap in knowledge in this space. Thus, GLAPD decided to offer professional Domestic and Family Violence services to the victims of this scourge.
