Yes, DV happens everywhere. A story and moral: Years ago, I was being abused by my ex. I screamed and slammed the walls, to gain attention of neighbours. Nobody came to check on me. Next day I received a letter from the strata of the building saying I was being too noisy and that their building and neighbourhood is a "respectable area" and they won't tolerate "such behaviour" and "philandering". I felt humiliated and cried. A part of me wanted to send them a reply saying, "please call the police next time you hear noise from my apartment because I am scared of this man". I wanted to write them details of what he had done to me that night and make them feel... Something. Maybe guilt. Maybe care. Instead, I ripped up the letter to try and let go, and eventually got enough courage to call the police on him myself one day. The moral of the story is, because these people felt "NOT MY NEIGHBOURHOOD", I was abused that night and repeatedly many times over. If someone had called the police or atleast knocked on my door, abuse could have been prevented. How many other women are in the same situation? How many other children are on the same situation? How many men are in the same situation? It will take a minute for you to call the police or Crimestoppers. You can even choose to remain anonymous, you could even knock on the door if you're feeling brave. Even if you don't know it's someone being abused, even if it sounds like loud music, or "philandering". It might be an inconvenience for you, but for all you know, you could save a life... Or even many lives. 💖 . . . #domesticabuse #Domesticviolence #familyabuse #heartbrokengirl #narcex #narcissistabuse #dvsurvivors #domesticabusesurvivor #domesticabuseawareness #dvalert #dvconnect #dv #dfv #domesticandfamilyviolence #abusiverelationships #smashthepatriarchy #feministan #feminista #endthepatriarchy #endpatriarchy #narcopath #crimestoppers #femaleempowerment #womenempowerment #courageouswomen #notinmyhouse #notinmyneighborhood #notinmyname #notinmycity #notinmyfamily (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5KhFnH4fx/?igshid=1p0tl956rhpjr
