Understanding VAWG
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is a pervasive issue that affects countless lives globally. In the United Kingdom, this form of violence has reached alarming levels, with reports and statistics painting a grim picture of its prevalence and impact.
Children are victims too
We know that children who grow up around domestic abuse can carry those experiences into adulthood unless they get the understanding and support they need to heal. Raising awareness, offering early education, and showing young people that there is help available can change lives.
If you’re worried about a child or about how domestic abuse is affecting your family, you can always contact the Hertfordshire Domestic Abuse Helpline. We’ll listen, offer guidance, and help you find the right support.
