We know that trans people often face high levels of abuse and discrimination, but living with the fear of abuse is never ok. Nobody deserves to be abused especially from a partner or a family member. Domestic abuse is not just physical abuse, verbal and emotional abuse is almost always used in abusive relationships and is not ‘normal’ in a relationship with a trans person.

If you are a trans woman and someone is trying to control your life, or if you are frightened of them, please contact us.

Children are innocent victims in abusive households. They can get caught up in fights, they can be traumatised by constant shouting, they can sense tension between their parents. Living with the ‘fight or flight’ response can have long term implications for children and young people’s mental health and emotional resilience, it can affect them into adulthood and affect their future intimate relationships.

If your child has witnessed domestic abuse and they would like support, please get in touch.
