About

The Domestic and Sexual Violence Survivors Foundation (DSVSF) is a nonprofit organization based in Lagos, Nigeria, dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Founded in response to the urgent need for confidential, survivor‑centered services, DSVSF provides free counseling, legal aid, emergency shelter referrals, and safety planning. The foundation also operates a 24/7 hotline (+234 808 190 7305, WhatsApp preferred), ensuring survivors can access help at any time.

DSVSF is tech‑driven, prioritizing digital communication channels to reach survivors discreetly and securely. By leveraging WhatsApp, online resources, and remote support, the foundation reduces barriers to access and empowers survivors to seek help without fear of stigma or exposure.
