SOMETIMES THE MOST POWERFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS LISTEN

When someone shares their experience of abuse, the way we respond can make a lasting difference.

✅ Listen without judgment
✅ Believe them
✅ Respect their choices
✅ Encourage them to seek support

You don't need to have all the answers. Being a safe, supportive person can be the first step toward healing and recovery.

HEALING IS NOT A STRAIGHT PATH, AND RECOVERY LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE

Taking the time to understand trauma, care for your mental health, practice self-care, seek counselling, and rebuild your life are all important steps on the journey toward healing.

Remember: your experiences are valid, your feelings matter, and support is available. Every small step forward is progress, and every day is an opportunity to grow stronger.

You are not defined by what happened to you. Healing is possible, hope is real, and your future is worth investing in.

🌱 Be kind to yourself.
🤝 Seek support when you need it.
💛 Keep hope alive.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS GIVES YOU OPTIONS

If you have experienced GBV, abuse, or violence, you have the right to seek protection, support, and justice.

Whether you are considering a protection order, reporting an incident, or learning more about the legal process, understanding your rights can help you make informed decisions about your next steps.

You do not have to navigate the process alone.

AFTER ASSAULT, YOUR HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELLBEING MATTER

Even if you do not have visible injuries, seeking medical care as soon as possible can help you access treatment, preventative medication, forensic support, and other important healthcare services.

Remember: You can receive medical care whether or not you choose to report the incident to the police.

The sooner you seek medical care, the more options may be available to you.

EOPLE THINK SEXUAL HARASSMENT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE WORKPLACE

The reality is that it can happen anywhere: 📍 At work 📍 At school 📍 Online 📍 In public spaces 📍 Within relationships

Nobody should have to tolerate unwanted behaviour that makes them feel uncomfortable, unsafe, intimidated, or threatened.

UNDERSTANDING GBV STARTS WITH AWARENESS

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not limited to physical violence. It can take many forms, including emotional, sexual, financial, digital abuse, stalking, and coercive control.

GBV is rooted in power, control, and inequality, and it can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, background, or circumstance.

Recognising the different forms of GBV is often the first step towards seeking support, making informed choices, and promoting safer communities.

💙 Everyone deserves safety, dignity, respect, and choice.

AM I BEING ABUSED?

Abuse is not always physical. Sometimes it shows up as fear, control, isolation, manipulation, or constantly doubting yourself.

If you find yourself walking on eggshells, feeling trapped, or no longer feeling like yourself, it may be time to look more closely at your relationship.

Healthy relationships are built on respect, trust, support, and choice, not fear and control.

💙 You deserve to feel safe.
💙 You deserve to be heard.
💙 You deserve support.

SAFETY PLANNING CAN SAVE LIVES

A safety plan can help you prepare, identify support, protect important information, and take practical steps to increase your safety when you are ready.
