You are not alone. It happens to many women, no matter where they come from, what their religion is, or whether they have money. No one has the right to hurt you physically or emotionally. Any form of abuse is wrong. The abuse usually gets worse not better.
Many women feel ashamed about what is happening.
This feeling does not have to stop you from getting help. If you are in danger, call 911. Police will help you. You can talk to someone about the abuse. If you have been hurt, you can go to your doctor or to the Emergency Department at a hospital.
