Learn about the myths regarding domestic violence & abuse
There are lots of myths and stereotypes out there. The more you learn about it, the more you can understand the complexity and need for change, and the more prepared you are to speak from an informed perspective. Domestic violence and abuse is not OK, no-one ever “asks” to be abused and it affects everyone. Learn more about family violence and abuse.
