DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
Is more than abuse. It deprives a woman of her basic human rights through degradation, disempowerment and exploitation. It cultivates anxiety and despair, leaving her confused and fearful. It is present on 1 in 4 relationships and is much more common than people think.

There are seven forms of abuse:

  • Physical abuse
  • Verbal abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Social abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Financial abuse
  • Spiritual abuse.

 


EMPOWERED FUTURE:

  • Learn about the dynamics of an abusive relationship
  • Improve your self-esteem
  • Reduce self-blame
  • Gain a better understanding of yourself and relationships
  • Increase your sense of control over your life
  • Explore available options for deciding the future
  • Meet with other women in similar situations.
