Identities

Each of these “identities” in their own right add a level of complication to a woman and/or child’s experience of domestic abuse, the types of abuse perpetrated against them, the mitigation the women can attempt to put in place and the mechanisms of safety or support open to them. Domestic Abuse Perpetrators Don’t Discriminate so Clare Haven as a service provider attempts to understand different experiences of domestic abuse and to identify remedies through the lens of the different grounds as laid out above and named in Equality Legislation. We hear about the experiences, realities, barriers, and supports from the different perspectives of living in Clare, inform ourselves and respond.

Gender

Gender-based violence against women is a human rights violation. Women are not exposed to violence by accident.

Religion

There are complex and varied issues that religion and faith can present for victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

LGBTI+

We have a specific worker whose focus is answering our weekly helpline for LGBTI+ women to assist on their specific issues.

Disability

Women with disabilities, especially those who are considered to be vulnerable, can be significantly impacted by domestic abuse.

Older People

Older people, especially those who are considered to be vulnerable, have particular issues in relation to Domestic Abuse.

Traveller Community

Traveller women play an important role in their immediate family and the wider Traveller community.

Ethnicity & Race

Clare Haven Services is open to all women regardless of their ethnicity, race, nationality or cultural background.

Marital & Family Status

We have integrated these two “grounds” from the legislation because the impacts are quite similar in the context of our work.
