Domestic violence awareness.

Domestic violence doesn't discriminate. It happens in every community. Every neighbourhood. Even in our own community.

Domestic violence isn't always physical. It can include emotional abuse, threats, intimidation, financial control. Isolation. manipulation and technological.

Behind every statistic is a real person, a mother, father, daughter, son, friend, co-worker. Or a  neighbour.
