Violence & abuse
There are many different types of violence and you can be exposed to several types at the same time. You can be subjected to violence by different people, such as a partner, a friend, someone in your family or a stranger. Here we explain the different types of violence.

Violence and abuse can look different and sometimes it is not visible on the outside. It can therefore be difficult to know what counts as violence and whether you have been a victim. But often you get the feeling that something is not right, and you may feel uneasy.
It can be difficult to talk to others about what you have been exposed to. Often it feels shameful, and it's common to think it's your own fault. But no one should hurt you or make you feel bad - physically or mentally. For example, no one should hit you, call you bad names, force you to do anything or sexually abuse you.
For example, harassment can be comments, derogatory jokes, gestures or bullying. Being a victim of harassment can be very difficult and stressful. But there is help available.
