Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse is an issue that can affect anyone, with one in three women and one in six men experiencing domestic abuse in their lifetime.
There are many types of domestic abuse including psychological, physical, digital/online and coercive control (such as isolating you from friends and family). And it’s an issue that is often not discussed and hidden from view which is why we’re supporting the ‘16 Days of Action Against Domestic Abuse’ campaign (which runs from 25 November until 10 December)
