Domestic violence knows no cultural, racial, economic, social or geographical boundaries.

Domestic violence is not just physical – it can involve mental and emotional abuse, financial control, sexual abuse, and movement deprivation.

Domestic violence is about control and the abuse of power.

A woman is killed every two days in Britain by a violent partner.

33 per cent of women will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives.

Nearly 20,000 women and 23,000 children are hiding in refuges in Britain in any one year.
