Online Safety
However, there are ways that an abuser can access your E-mail and also find out where you have been on the internet. If your abuser knows computers well, you might not be able to hide all your tracks. Please read this page to learn about some of the ways to protect yourself. If you are worried about this, you can go to a public terminal at a library or community center.
You may also call SAFE, Inc at 885-7233(SAFE) or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or (TTY) 1-800-787-3224.

Less Talked about...yet equally important!!!
Abuse Against Men...
Domestic violence occurs between people in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence against men can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. It can happen in heterosexual or same sex relationships.
Abuse in Same Sex Couples...
Domestic violence in the GLBT community is a serious issue. The rates of domestic violence in same-gender relationships is roughly the same as domestic violence against heterosexual women. As in opposite-gendered couples, the problem is likely underreported. Facing a system which is often oppressive and hostile towards those who identify as anything other than "straight", those involved in same-gender battering frequently report being afraid of revealing their sexual orientation or the nature of their relationship. |
