🎄 Domestic Abuse Does NOT Take a Holiday
Reports of domestic abuse rise every Christmas. Stress, money worries, or alcohol are never an excuse. Abuse is about power and control.
Domestic abuse can be a single incident or a pattern of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading or violent behaviour — including s*xual violence. It’s most often carried out by a partner or ex-partner, but can also be by a family member or carer.
✨ Make Yourself Heard – “Silent Solution”
If you’re in danger and can’t speak:
📞 Dial 999
👂 Listen to the operator
💬 Cough or tap your phone if you can
🔢 Press 55 when prompted — this lets the operator know it’s an emergency and you’ll be connected to the police
You are not alone. Support is available. 💙
