End Domestic Abuse Now
One in four women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
Two women a week are killed by a current or former partner.
And one in six men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
There is one incident of domestic abuse reported to the police every minute.
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter what your age or background, your gender, religion, sexuality or ethnicity.
Is your partner jealous and possessive? Are they charming one minute? Abusive the next?
Are they controlling what you wear? Where you go? Who you see? Are they constantly putting you down?
Do they control your money? And put pressure on you to have sex?
And are you constantly walking on eggshells trying to avoid making them angry?
Are they monitoring your movements and all your messages? And are you frightened?
Do they use anger and intimidation to control you? Do they play mind games?
Are they making you doubt your judgement? And are you doubting your judgement right now?
Are you thinking 'maybe it's me. Maybe I'm making too much out of this'?
What is happening to you is not okay. So let EDAN Lincs help you.
It is NEVER the fault of the person who's experiencing it.

You must feel like you're in a difficult situation right now.
Whatever is happening to you, it's not okay.
If the police are with you, they can recognise that you need help.
And they can get you help and support.
So I want to ask you about your relationship.
Is your partner jealous and possessive?
Are they charming one minute? Abusive the next?
Are they controlling what you wear? Where you go? Who you see?
Are they constantly putting you down?
Do they control your money? And put pressure on you to have sex?
And are you constantly walking on eggshells trying to avoid making them angry?
Are they monitoring your movements and all your messages? And are you frightened?
Do they use anger and intimidation to control you? Do they play mind games?
Are they making you doubt your judgement? And are you doubting your judgement right now?
Are you thinking 'maybe it's me. Maybe I'm making too much out of this'?
But if you're listening to me right now then I want to tell you... it isn't you.
What is happening to you is not okay. So let us help you.
Because one in four women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
Two women a week are killed by a current or former partner.
And one in six men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
It may not be your current partner doing this to you. It may be a previous partner or member of your family.
There is one incident of domestic abuse reported to the police every minute.
And domestic abuse can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter what your age or background, your gender, religion, sexuality or ethnicity.
It is NEVER the fault of the person who's experiencing it.
So let us help you. Please.
