Did You Know?
As at January 2022, here are the key facts around domestic violence ini Australia.
Domestic violence covers a lot of hurtful things that can happen in relationships.
It's not just hitting; it can also be messing with someone's feelings, controlling their money, or forcing them to do things they don't want to do.
It can even involve using phones or computers to bother or watch someone all the time.
These abuses, like physical harm, emotional manipulation, financial control, sexual assault, verbal aggression, and social isolation, can really mess up someone's life and make them feel like they have no control.
It's important to know about these things so we can help people going through it and try to stop it from happening in the future.
