Domestic abuse statistics are frightening!
1 in 4 women experience domestic abuse (DA) during their lifetime
A domestic abuse related call is made to the police every 30 seconds
1 in 5 teenage girls have experienced domestic abuse in a relationship
1 in 3 pregnant women experience DA
62% of children living with DA are directly harmed by the perpetrator
Between April 2019 and March 2022, on average, at least one woman a week was killed by a male partner/ex-partner
It can happen to anyone, at any time in their life!
No person deserves to be abused!
