Myth or Fact? If domestic abuse was that bad, victims would just leave the relationship. Myth Busted! Leaving an abusive relationship can be extremely difficult due to many reasons including financial dependence, fear of further violence, effects on children and lack of support. Victims we help have often been told by their abuser that they cannot leave, leading to feelings of isolation and helplessness. At Safer, we're committed to shattering misconceptions about domestic abuse. That's why we've launched the 'Safer spaces' partnership program, inviting businesses to be part of a movement that cultivates a safer environment for employees affected by domestic abuse.

Domestic violence is never okay. It's not just physical—it can be emotional, verbal, or financial too. Know the signs: controlling behavior, threats, isolation. Your safety is non-negotiable. Reach out for help if you feel scared or trapped. You are not alone—there are shelters, hotlines, and support groups ready to assist you. Leaving is hard, but you deserve a life free from fear. Plan your escape discreetly; pack essentials and important documents. Remember, it's not your fault. You deserve respect and love without conditions. You are strong, capable, and deserving of a safe, peaceful life. #twf #women #domesticviolenceawareness

#Domesticviolence affects millions annually, but reported statistics likely underestimate its true prevalence due to systemic, legal, social, and emotional barriers hindering #survivors from reporting. For decades, Michael Reese has invested its resources into preventing and addressing the impact of domestic violence in #Chicagoland, supporting both survivors and those who cause harm to break the cycle of violence. Through community input and partner feedback, we’ve learned three critical lessons shaping our work. By leveraging these insights, we can work towards a future where no case of domestic violence goes unreported, and every individual receives the support they need to reclaim their safety and autonomy. #preventdomesticviolence Learn more when you visit https://lnkd.in/gd6gTyaa

Instead of writing my own post about yesterdays Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse conference, I am reposting anyone who has tagged me. Whilst yes I was a speaker, there were lots of us and many attendees ambassadors who share their lived experience, professionals (many are both) and employers all #eidajoiningforces to ensure work is a place where domestic abuse can be spoken about and we can reach those affected. In 5 years EIDA membership has gone up from a few hundred employers to 1700. But there's so many employers not engaged in this. IMAGINE how much impact they could have if they all started learning what they can do. Membership is free and there is lots of support to develop your offer to employees and learn from others. With increasing numbers of older people working and volunteering there's an opportunity to reach older invisible victim-survivors and perpetrators too and break the generational cycle of abuse. #noagelimit #thehiddenfaceofdomesticabuse
