Violence

Unfortunately, violence is still part of our society and can affect people of all ages, men, women and children. You're more likely to be the victim of violence if you're a young man, but domestic violence, sexual violence and abuse can happen to anyone. This section has links to sources of support if you've been a victim of any such violence.
