Justice Minister Naomi Long has emphasised the critical part played by voluntary and community organisations in helping victims of domestic and sexual abuse.
During a recent trip to Derry, the Minister met staff at Nexus to learn about their work on the Rise Up project.
The initiative is one of several efforts financed through the Small Grant Scheme designed to offer hands-on assistance.
These activities form part of the broader Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy aimed at improving outcomes for survivors.
