Silence Hides Violence

Are You In An Abusive Relationship?

  • Does your partner put you down constantly, but then tells you that they love you?

  • Do you not see your friends or family because of your partner's jealousy?

  • Have you ever been hit, kicked, shoved or had things thrown at you?

  • Have you been forced into having sex when you didn't want to?

  • Are you afraid to break up with them because your partner has threatened to hurt you or themselves?

If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions you may be a victim of Domestic Violence. You are not alone. It is not your fault. There is help available for you. Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline for help.

What Do You Do If You Are A Victim Of Domestic Violence?

Safety Plan
Establish a protection strategy:
You need a protection strategy if you are in an abusive relationship or have recently left an abusive relationship. If you are in the main in the family home where the abuser can return, even when a court order has been issued against them and especially if they have threatened to assault you again, you may be in severe risk of facing further abuse.

​

  • Have a list of safe places

  • Plan an escape route

  • Take your children with you

  • Leave some money and an extra set of keys with a trusted family member

  • Don't get trapped in the kitchen or the bathroom
