Domestic Abuse
You are not alone
One women in four reports experiencing Domestic Violence at some time in her life
The Home Office have concluded that approximately every three days one woman dies as a result of Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence includes all kinds of physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse between people who are or have been partners, whether or not married and whether or not living together. This includes same sex relationships
People experience domestic violence regardless of their social group, class, age, race, disability, sexuality and lifestyle. It can happen in the home, or in a public setting.
It can happen at any time during a relationship, including after a couple have separated. Pregnancy and the birth of a baby is often a trigger for abuse.
