Q's

How do I know if what I am experiencing is Domestic abuse?
A's

If you are not sure, it may help to see read our web page on 'What is domestic abuse?' and/or talk through your experiences with someone: Contact Clacks Women's Aid ON 01259 721 407.
I don't feel in danger right now, can I still come to Clacks Women's Aid?
Yes, you can telephone or drop into our office Monday - Friday 9.30-4.30pm. or Saturday 9.30-11.30am.  We are here to listen and support any women experiencing domestic abuse.
How common is domestic abuse?
Domestic abuse is more common than people realise.  In Scotland at least 1 in 5 women experience it at some point in their life.  Only a minority are reported to the police.  In  the Clackmannanshire area alone in 2015- 2016 there were 698 reported cases of Domestic abuse to Police Scotland.
What causes domestic abuse to happen?
Domestic abuse against a woman by a man is a misuse of power and control. Perpetrators of domestic abuse choose to act in this way, due to a  sense of entitlement, as such domestic abuse against women can be seen as a consequence of the inequalities that continue to exist in our society.
