How to seek help when you need to escape a violent home
Briefly

Statistics show that one in four women in England and Wales will experience domestic abuse in their lifetimes. Everyone has the right to expect to feel safe at home with their partners, but for too many, this is not the case. It’s important to remember those experiencing abuse are not alone. Through Refuge and hundreds of other domestic abuse charities, help can be found for both long-term and short-term needs.
Refuge has long supported domestic abuse survivors in helping them rebuild their lives, assisting thousands of people a year.
