Does your partner...

• Criticize you, your friends or your family or stop you from seeing them?
• Threaten to hurt you or your children?
• Force unwanted sex? Withhold sex?
• Hurt your feelings? Put you down?
• Hit you? Push you around?
• Control the money, what you wear, whom you see?

You are not alone... It is against the law for your partner to assault you. If you have identified with ANY of these you are in an abusive relationship. Millions of women are abused by their partners.  Abuse affects women of all social, economic, racial, religious and ethnic groups regardless of sexual orientation.

Are you...

• Feeling alone?  Hopeless, powerless, afraid?
• Feeling like a prisoner in your own home?
• Concerned about how your home environment is affecting you and your children?
• Feeling unsafe in a heterosexual or same sex relationship?
• Concerned about your intimate relationship and in need of support?
• A woman who has experienced sexual assault or date rape?
• Being stalked or harassed?
• Needing to re-locate?
• Needing information and/or advocacy regarding public services?
