💜 Domestic Abuse Awareness Month

When we think about domestic abuse, we must also think about the children living with it.

More than 105,000 children are living in homes where there is high-risk domestic abuse, and 78% are directly harmed by the perpetrator, as well as experiencing the trauma of witnessing abuse.

Children don't have to be the direct target of abuse to be affected by it. Living in a home where abuse occurs can have lasting impacts on their emotional wellbeing, development, and sense of safety.

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and secure environment. By raising awareness, we can help protect children and support families affected by domestic abuse.

💜 Domestic Abuse Awareness Month

Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Yet LGBTQ+ individuals often face additional barriers when seeking support, including fear of discrimination, isolation, or not being believed.

The statistics on this picture highlight the disproportionate impact of domestic abuse within LGBTQ+ communities and the importance of ensuring support services are inclusive, accessible and welcoming to all.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their relationships and to know that help is available when they need it.
