The Women's Political Association has joined Women's Aid and other groups to launch "Target Zero - the action campaign against domestic violence."

The campaign highlights violence against women and sets out 30 demands in response to the problem.

Central to the campaign is a demand for implementation of the recently launched report on Violence Against Women by the office of the Tanaiste.

The association called on the next Government to provide resources to implement advice centres and refuge for female victims of violence.
