MOVE Limerick

MOVE Limerick works in the area of Domestic Violence. It aims to support the protection and wellbeing of women and their children by working with men who are, or have been, violent or abusive towards their female partners.

MOVE Limerick does this by facilitating men in a group process that involves them taking responsibility for their violence, helping them to change their attitudes and behaviours and stopping the violence.
