How far have the cuts threatened NI’s women’s sector and the vital services provided by it?

The women’s community and voluntary (CV) sector provides a range of services to women, children and families in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Northern Ireland (NI).

The services are wide-ranging, to meet the often complex needs of Northern Ireland’s women and include advice and advocacy services including for those suffering domestic violence, training and education for entering/re-entering employment, academic and vocational courses, capacity building, community leadership, health promotion, positive parenting and childcare.
