ENJOY, YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS HEALTHY WHEN YOUR PARTNER...

  • respects your decisions, your wishes and your tastes

  • accepts your friends and family

  • trusts you

  • is happy when you feel fulfilled

  • makes sure that you agree about what you do together

You respect one another. Even if you disagree, you are not afraid.

BE VIGILANT, SAY STOP, IT IS VIOLENCE WHEN YOUR PARTNER...

  • ignores you during days when he/she is angry

  • blackmails you if you refuse to do something

  • mocks your opinions and your plans

  • puts you down and humiliates you in public

  • is jealous and possessive all the time

  • lies to you and manipulates you

  • controls your outings, clothes and makeup

  • reads your texts, mails and checks your apps

  • insists that you send him/her intimate photos of yourself

  • isolates you from your family and friends

What is happening is not normal. It is not your fault and you do not have to put up with it, or accept the situation.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND ASK FOR HELP, YOU ARE IN DANGER WHEN YOUR PARTNER...

  • calls you a fool when you reproach him/her

  • freaks out when something displeases him/her

  • threatens to commit suicide “because of you”

  • obliges you to watch pornographic material

  • threatens to broadcast intimate photos of you

  • touches your intimate parts without your consent

  • pushes you, pulls you, slaps you, shakes you, hits you

  • forces you to have sexual relations

  • threatens you with a weapon or threatens to kill you

Warning, you are without a doubt a victim of violence. Do not stay on your own alone, the situation could change.
