@thegettingoutguide: Most people think abuse happens to someone else. The reality is that nearly 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence during their lifetime. That's why understanding abuse matters. Not because it's rare. Because it's common enough that almost everyone knows someone who has been affected by it, whether they realise it or not. The more we understand abuse, coercive control, and manipulation, the easier it becomes to recognise the signs before the damage runs deeper. #abuseawareness #domesticviolenceawareness #coercivecontrol #emotionalabuse #thegettingoutguide
