DOMESTIC ABUSE | Support
16-19 year olds are the group most likely to suffer abuse from a partner. 12.7% of women and 6.2 % of men in this age group suffer abuse, compared to 7% of women and 5% of men in older groups.
Does your partner isolate you from your friends?
Do they monitor how you spend your time, or keep track of what you do online?
Do they put you down, or involve you in criminal activities?
Do they threaten to publish or share your private information or intimate photos?
These are all signs of Coercive Control.
This is DOMESTIC ABUSE.
It is an act, or a pattern of acts, of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation that abusers use to harm, punish or frighten survivors. It doesn’t relate to a single incident, it is a purposeful pattern of behaviour.
