Woman

Does your spouse, partner or family member:

  • Shove, punch, choke or beat you?
  • Insult or degrade you repeatedly?
  • Hide or destroy important papers?
  • Force you to have sex or rape you?
  • Keep you from having access to the family’s income?
  • Isolate you from friends and family?
  • Threaten to take your children away?
  • Threaten to hurt or deport you or your children?
You have the right to be safe in your home and with the people closest to you.

Domestic violence often gets worse unless you get help.

If you are being abused, you can take control. There are plenty of people to help you.
