Domestic abuse is physical, emotional or sexual mistreatment in a relationship or between family members.
It may involve controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour.
Around 2.4 million adults experience domestic abuse each year.
1.6 million women and 786,000 men.
This figure will become even higher during Covid lockdown.
Domestic abuse is not acceptable.
Nobody deserves to live in fear.
You are worth more.
The abuser has committed a crime.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999 and ask for the police.
