Information for women
Women are unfortunately the most likely to suffer domestic abuse at the hands of a current or former partner. Different women will experience domestic abuse differently-from insults, jealousy and controlling behaviour to sexual and physical violence. Please remember-abuse can take many forms, and it does not need to be physical for it to be serious.
We are happy to discuss your specific circumstances with you and to offer you different options based on your situation. You can also have a look at the resources available to women in North Lanarkshire listed below, or see our full list of resources here.
