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

Domestic violence 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 2 hotlines that support people experiencing abuse and domestic violence in Cambodia can help. Contact them if these signs of abuse sound familiar:

• Avoiding certain topics so that you don’t anger your partner/family member
• You feel threatened all the time
• Being forced to have unsafe sex
• Your belongings and property being destroyed
• You are embarrassed for your close ones to see how your partner/family member treats you
• Your partner/family member constantly checks up on you
• Being forced to have sex or perform other sexual activities that you don’t want to
• Your privacy online being invaded

Every case of abuse and domestic violence is unique. Every family and partnership has its own story. It’s perfectly normal to feel conflicted and insecure about the whole situation. Going through it alone can be confusing and, importantly, dangerous.

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 Cambodia will listen, try to understand – and help you.

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