“SHE doesn't look like a victim...Where are her cuts and bruises? She’s too rich to be affected by domestic abuse.”
These are just some of the dangerously common myths and stereotypes commonly believed about domestic violence. But the simple truth is, anyone can be a victim.
To help educate women, and people of all genders, a Greater Manchester helpline has now produced an important film about the different types of ways victims can suffer abuse in the home. It comes as 67,016 reports of domestic violence were reported to Greater Manchester Police over the last 12 months.
The Greater Manchester Domestic Abuse helpline want everyone to watch the short film Behind Closed Doors to raise awareness of the unspoken signs of domestic violence everyone should know about. These include emotional abuse, which can be characterised as being hyper-critical or judgemental of your parenting and decisions you make, name-calling, manipulation, guilt-tripping, withholding affection, making unreasonable demands, invalidating your feels by saying you're crazy or too sensitive,.
