Domestic abuse is physical, sexual, psychological, emotional or financial abuse in an intimate or family type relationship. It includes stalking and harassment, forced marriage, so-called ‘honour’ crimes and female genital mutilation. Rarely a one-off incident, domestic abuse forms a pattern of coercive, controlling behaviour which can get worse over time.
In the UK 2 women a week are killed by a partner or ex-partner.
Sexual abuse is any form of unwanted sexual activity. It includes rape, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse and any other sexual contact or behaviour that happens without consent.
1 in 6 women will be affected by sexual violence or abuse in their lifetime.
