Always Here Awareness Campaign

“I want victims of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence to know that they are not alone. An Garda Síochána, the Courts Service and other services, including the vital supports provided by our community and voluntary sector, are always here for you. And when you ask for help, you will be heard.”

Helen McEntee TD , Minister for Justice

“Domestic, sexual and gender-based violence is a crime.  We in An Garda Síochána are here to listen, to protect victims and to prosecute those responsible.   

Our commitment is and will always be to help, in every way we can, those victims who are subjected to these crimes. 

If you are a victim of abuse or you believe that someone else is or might be a victim of DSGBV, please contact An Garda Síochána.  If you require urgent assistance or support, please call 999 or 112.”

Drew Harris, Garda Commissioner

“Domestic and sexual violence is unacceptable in our society. It is very important we get the message out that support services are always available for victims. This initiative builds on the awareness raised in the Still Here campaign. We want the vital information and supports that victims of these terrible crimes need to be readily available.”

James Browne, Minister of State for Law Reform
