Get help with abuse and domestic violence from a hotline in Brazil

Many women, children, and men in the world are victims of domestic abuse– this is any behaviour that maintains control over a spouse, partner, family member, or girlfriend/boyfriend. Abuse may be expressed physically, emotionally, verbally, sexually, or financially, and you may feel threatened, controlled or coerced.

Setting free from an abuser may feel impossible. You are probably terrified and feel trapped. However, many victims of abuse and domestic violence have made it. With the help of 1 hotlines in Brazil that support with abuse and domestic violence, you can live without having to endure these symptoms of abuse:

• Avoiding certain topics so that you don’t anger your partner/family member
• Being exposed to intimidation and coercion
• You feel threatened all the time
• Feeling like you can’t do anything right for your partner/family member
• Forcing you to use substances, lead an unhealthy lifestyle, or not take medication you need
• Your partner/family member has an unpredictable, violent temperament, and they direct the anger at you
• You are being isolated from friends and family members
• Feeling helpless, desperate, or emotionally numb

Victims of abuse and domestic violence can be in a difficult position. They once had (or still have) love for the abuser. On the other hand, they are constantly exposed to harm from someone who should love them back. This can feel puzzling and scary.
