Abstract: In the last decades domestic violence has been considered a major and widespread problem, which in turn causes numerous other problems on both societal and individual level. This requires the development of policies against the domestic violence as a negative social phenomenon, as well as implementation of concrete steps for its mitigation and elimination. The aim of the study is to determine the role of the NGOs in Bulgaria in relation to policies against domestic violence. To do this the author has performed the following tasks: 1. Surveyed the availability of specialists in NGOs in the field of social activities related to domestic violence against women. 2. Surveyed the sources of funding of the activities of NGOs which provide social services in the field of domestic violence as well as their legislative and institutional environment. 3. Reviewed the prevention and redress aspects of NGO's policies related to domestic violence against women. 4. Outlined the aspects for improving the social services related to domestic violence against women. The study presents the results of a sociological survey among NGOs conducted in the period October - November 2013.
