One in four women and one in six men* will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Victims may suffer from domestic abuse regardless of ethnicity, religion, class, age, disability or lifestyle and the abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological or sexual.

But every person, whatever their circumstances, has the right to live a life free from domestic abuse.

'Behind closed doors' is a campaign launched by a group of domestic abuse support agencies around Surrey, including yourSanctuary, Surrey County Council, local domestic abuse outreach centres and Surrey Police. Between us we want to reach out to the victims of domestic abuse and reassure them that they are not alone, and that help and support is always available, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
