AND WHAT IF IT’S VIOLENCE? – IN MY RELATIONSHIP

Blows, slaps, cruelty, insults, humiliation, threats, bans, sexual coercion…

Violence within a relationship takes many different forms, but one of the partners always takes control of the other, in all cases, creating a permanent feeling of fear and tension.

It can affect anyone, regardless of their age, social or cultural background or religion ; whether they are married or not, hetero or homosexual, minor or adult, man or woman.

Violence sets in, repeats and worsens over time, despite moments of respite. Both partners get caught in a cycle, out of which it is very hard to escape from on your own.

Victims or perpetrators of violence, talk to professionals about your situation. It’s the first step to making things change.
