OUR COMMITMENT

The ANAR Foundation and the Ministry of Equality have worked together since 2009 under a joint agreement to handle cases of gender violence where there is a child involved.

Many of the calls connected with this type of case are received via the ANAR 900 20 20 10 Phoneline and Chat.

Under the agreement with the Ministry, the 016 phoneline (for Victims of Gender Violence and Abuse) also refers to the ANAR Phoneline all calls involving gender violence where the victim is aged under 18.

Who do we help via this phoneline?

  • Mothers who are victims of gender violence, worried about how their children are affected.
  • Children worried about the gender violence suffered by their mothers.
  • Teenagers suffering gender violence in their own relationships.

Impact

The number of calls seeking specific guidance about gender violence has increased significantly since 2009.

I started praying to my grandfather who is in heaven and I told him… now I'm going with you. My lip started to bleed from a blow he gave me and he was hitting my mother too…
