Domestic violence

Domestic violence is when your partner or other family member hurts you or makes you scared.

Domestic violence can be hurting your body, hurting your feelings, making you do sexual things you don’t want to do, stopping you from seeing your friends or family, or taking your money away.

It can be hard to know if domestic violence is happening to you. If you feel scared of your partner or family you might be being abused.

If you are being abused it is important to tell someone you trust. There are places you can go to talk or get help.
