Say NO to violence against women and girls worldwide.

What is domestic violence against women?

A pattern of abusive behaviours used to control or dominate another person!

There are many forms of domestic violence which can occur independently or in conjunction with each other:

• Physical
• Emotional
• Sexual
• Social
• Spiritual

Ongoing abuse of all kinds is harmful and gradually reduces the victim’s confidence and ability to seek help or leave.

What can we do?

• Don’t excuse or justify sexism
• Speak up when people disrespect women, sometimes they don’t even realise
• Empower women who you suspect may be victims, offer help and support
• Let victims know they aren’t alone and inform them about relevant services to help.
