Domestic abuse refers to patterns of controlling, coercive, threatening or violent behavior within close relationships. It can include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual or financial abuse and affects people of all backgrounds, genders and ages.
The topic is highly relevant because domestic abuse often impacts mental health, confidence, workplace wellbeing and long-term safety. Many people experience abuse in silence due to fear, stigma or lack of support. Greater awareness can help individuals, workplaces and communities recognize warning signs, respond more effectively and create safer environments where people feel supported and understood.
