Domestic violence has increased tremendously over the past few years and even though various organisations and women’s groups have carried out research, systematic and comprehensive information is limited. This resource has mapped out organisational intervention services for victim-survivors of domestic violence and the said mapping focuses on identifying organisations engaged in providing counseling, shelter services, legal advice and legal aid, and health sector interventions. This is a useful resource to women’s organizations, donor and government representatives in strengthening and improving domestic violence interventions.
