Anyone can experience domestic abuse, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, sexuality or background.
If you’re experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner, family member or someone you live with, it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault. Accessing help and support may feel like a difficult step to take, however there is support available and you are not alone.
If you feel in immediate danger, call 112 or 999. Members of the Gardaí are specially trained to deal with these situations and can help you get support.
