Support for women

underline

Domestic abuse affects many women and can have a lasting impact on their safety and wellbeing. Our services provide support, safety and empowerment to help women rebuild their lives.

Support for women

Domestic Abuse is a Gendered Crime. Domestic abuse is disproportionately experienced by women and is linked to wider societal inequalities. As stated in the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (1993):

“Violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations.”

  • 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime
  • 2 women are killed every week in the UK by a current or former partner
  • Most domestic abuse is perpetrated by men against women, but abuse can be perpetrated by anyone and can happen in any relationship

TDAS recognises that while women are disproportionately affected, men and LGBTQ+ people also experience domestic abuse and we are here to support all survivors.

You are not alone

If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. You deserve to feel safe, respected and in control of your own life.

We understand that reaching out can feel difficult, and we are here to support you without judgement.

Abuse can include:

  • Coercive control or emotional abuse
  • Physical or sexual violence
  • Financial control or restriction
  • Isolation from friends, family or support
  • Threats, intimidation or harassment
  • You may be feeling
  • Frightened, anxious or unsure what to do
  • Isolated or alone
  • Confused about what is happening
  • Worried about your safety or your children

These feelings are valid and support is available.

If you think you are experiencing domestic abuse, contact us for support and talk to a domestic abuse advisor at TDAS.
