Abuse, either domestic or sexual is about power and control. One person uses their power to control another against their will. Abuse does not discriminate. It occurs in all ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, financial levels and partner choice.
While some forms of abuse are obvious to everyone, most abuse is hidden from the public.
Friends and family can be pivotal in helping a victim of abuse.
Knowledge is the most powerful tool we have for making lasting changes. You can make a difference. Be informed, speak out, take a stand. Make our communities and homes violence free.
