October is domestic violence awareness month and in part 1 of this two part series on domestic abuse, I’m joined by Karman Singh Bains a Paralegal working in family Law to talk about what is domestic abuse? A lot of times we assume that domestic abuse is just physical violence when actually it’s so much more than that. In this episode we talk about: What domestic abuse actually is? UK statistics on domestic abuse Why are most victims of domestic abuse female? What is life like as a victim of domestic abuse? The impact it has on a person’s mental health How do male victims deal with domestic abuse? How to get help? If you know someone going through domestic abuse, please share this podcast with them. I hope it helps someone out there 🧡 ———————————————————— Karman’s Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bainsainye/ https://www.instagram.com/ksbains9/ Podcast: https://spoti.fi/3ihqtFt ———————————————————— Don’t forget to follow me on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preetipersonal/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/preetipersonal  If you prefer, you can also email me: [email protected] New episodes every Tuesday!
