Find support for abuse and domestic violence from a hotline in Zimbabwe

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.

If you are in Zimbabwe and you are exposed to violence, 2 hotlines that support with abuse and domestic violence are available to you. You do not have to bear that burden in quiet, alone. Reach out if you are noticing these signs:

• Your partner/family member has an unpredictable, violent temperament, and they direct the anger at you
• You are being controlled by your partner/family member
• You are embarrassed for your close ones to see how your partner/family member treats you
• Your devices are being monitored or tracked by a partner/family member
• Being exposed to intimidation and coercion
• You feel threatened all the time
• Avoiding certain topics so that you don’t anger your partner/family member
• Your partner/family member blames you for how they behave
