Reach out to a hotline in Luxembourg for support with abuse and domestic violence

Domestic abuse is any action or behaviour from a partner or spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend or family member that aims to control you. For some, this is physical violence, for others it takes the form of verbal, emotional, sexual or financial abuse.

If you are experiencing abuse or domestic violence, you do not have to deal with this on your own. Staff from 6 hotlines that support people experiencing abuse and domestic violence in Luxembourg can help. Contact them if these signs of abuse sound familiar:

• Your partner/family member is acting excessively jealously
• You are embarrassed for your close ones to see how your partner/family member treats you
• Being taken advantage of financially
• Your partner/family member has an unpredictable, violent temperament, and they direct the anger at you
• Your partner/family member has told you they will commit suicide if you leave
• Your privacy online being invaded
• Your partner/family member is constantly trying to convince you you’re crazy and makes you doubt your experiences (also known as gaslighting)
• Your belongings and property being destroyed

Experiencing a wide range of emotions is perfectly normal for victims of abuse and domestic violence. Doubting the clarity of your mind or your ability to understand what’s happening is also a common consequence of the abuse you have experienced.

It’s normal if you feel isolated. Victims of abuse and domestic violence are exposed to extreme stress and often go through it alone. Even though it might feel difficult to share what you are going through, hotline staff in Luxembourg will listen, try to understand – and help you.

If you feel like you might need support today, try reaching out to a hotline in Luxembourg. It's free and confidential.
