Access to justice for victims of domestic violence in Donegal has reached a critical point, according to a new national charity. The organization, founded by survivors, reports that women are increasingly trapped in cycles of abuse due to delays in the family court system. Legal aid is scarce, and many victims are forced to wait months for hearings. The charity highlights a growing backlog of cases, which has left vulnerable individuals without timely support. Local advocates say the situation is worsening, with fewer resources available to help those in need. The delay in processing cases has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of victims. Efforts to improve access to justice continue, but the crisis remains unresolved.
