If you're a victim of abuse or violence at the hands of someone you know or love, or you are recovering from an assault by a stranger, you are not alone.
- A woman is abused by a partner every 15 seconds in the U.S.
- One in every three women, or up to one billion women, have been beaten,coerced into sex,or otherwise abused in their life time. No one has the right to abuse you!
- Victims of domestic abuse or domestic violence may be men or women, although women are more commonly victimized.
There are different types of domestic abuse, including emotional, physical, sexual, and economic abuse. Many abusers behave in ways that include more than one type of domestic abuse, and the boundaries between some of these behaviors may overlap. Call us SAD-V. We Can Help!
