The shelters offer a safe and supportive home for women and children experiencing domestic violence. Each family has a private room and shares common areas with other residents. For safety reasons, shelter addresses remain confidential. Two shelters currently operate in Cyprus by the Association for the Prevention and Handling of Violence in the Family (also known as SPAVO). To check availability, call the free 24-hour helpline at 1440, or contact the Police or Social Welfare Services for assistance.
