Domestic Abuse
Stop Violence & Abuse
Unfortunately, violence and abuse are rife amongst communities across the nation and much of these are hidden and not reported. Did you know...
- Domestic abuse is not always physical violence. It includes any incident of threatening behaviour, violence, or abuse.
- Abuse and violence are a violation of your human rights.
- Most women experience physical abuse at least once in their lifetime.
- Domestic abuse and violence can affect ANYONE.
