Enough campaign: No one should live in fear of abuse

September 8, 2023

Abuse takes many forms – it can be emotional, physical, sexual or financial. It can be words or actions. At home or in the street. It can be inflicted by a partner, ex-partner, family member, colleague, friend or stranger. It can be in person, through technology and online.

Whatever form it takes, abuse is never justified. Any behaviour that demeans, frightens or distresses is abuse. It has to stop. Knowing what abuse is helps us all recognise it when it happens. We can all do something to keep each other safe. Click here to find out more about the Enough campaign and how you can intervene safely.

Note: If you think somebody is in immediate danger, always call 999.
