50 Facts at 50 #DomesticAbuseAwareness

Domestic abuse can leave both emotional and physical scars - it deeply impacts mental health. #WomensAid #MentalHealthMatters #DomesticAbuseSupport #RecoveryJourney #YouAreNotAlone #TraumaInformedCare

82% of domestic abuse victims are women. This is not a coincidence - it’s a pattern. We understand domestic abuse through a gender-based lens, because abuse doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s rooted in power, control, and systemic inequality. #50facts #GenderBasedViolence

Leaving an abusive relationship isn’t as simple as “just walking away.” On average, it takes 7 attempts before someone leaves for good. Why? Because leaving is often the most dangerous time. #DomesticAbuseAwareness #Separationdoesnotequalsafety #abuseisnotlove
