Introduction

I have chosen this subject for my project as I have had personal experience with domestic violence and I went through years of abuse thinking I was the only person it was happening to.  Since I found out that there were other people going through the same or similar things I feel it is really important that people are aware that they are not on their own and that there is help available for them.

 

As a result of my experiences I am hoping to become involved with the Women’s Aid charity, which is an organization, aimed at helping and supporting women and children suffering domestic violence.

 

In the future I hope to share my experiences with others and try and help them in the same way I have been helped by all the people in the Women’s Aid Refuge I stayed in.  If I didn’t have their help I wouldn’t be here today and hopefully one day I will do the same for others.

 

I hope that all the information I give in this project will help people in similar circumstances to be aware of all the aspects of domestic violence.
