About domestic violence
Domestic violence knows no social, economic, religious, age, gender or ethnic boundaries. It can happen to anyone at any time, and it is NEVER your fault.
If domestic violence is a part of your life, you are not alone. There is help and you have choices. Reach out to a friend or family member, call the helpline in your country, or search for a shelter. Only the first step has to come from you!
You will find below some hotlines and websites that will, I hope, help you make that first step towards freedom and safety.
