Domestic abuse is never acceptable
and it isn’t your fault.

Domestic abuse is a systematic pattern of power and control for the sole purpose of manipulating a partner in an intimate relationship. It can take many forms: physical, verbal, emotional, psychological, spiritual, financial and sexual.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing domestic abuse, SHALVA can help.
