Sometimes, women do not realise that they are abused.
This may be because they have always been treated badly. Or their abuser may tell them, and they may believe, that it is their own fault. Women often hide the abuse because they are frightened or feel ashamed. And, abusers are very careful to hide what they are doing too.
All women have the right to live without abuse.
