Older and vulnerable women

Later in life domestic abuse: Women can suffer domestic abuse at any age. DVR works with women of all ages and we have specialised supports for women 55 years & over.

Elder abuse is “the abuse of someone aged 65 or over and it happens in a relationship where there is an expectation of trust. It is a single or repeated act, or a lack of action, that causes harm or distress to the older person or that violates their human and civil rights.”
