For millions of people, living with abuse is an everyday reality.
Approximately 12 million people experience physical abuse by an intimate partner each year, an average of 24 people every minute.
Abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or background. Every person deserves to feel safe, respected and supported.
If you or someone you know is questioning whether a relationship is healthy or abusive, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is here to help.
Our advocates are available 24/7 by call, chat and text.
