The Right to be Safe

The Right to be Safe
"The Right to be Safe" is the Welsh Government's 6 year integrated strategy for tackling all forms of violence against women and domestic abuse.
Live Fear Free

Byw Heb Ofn / Live Fear Free is the Welsh Government’s latest high profile campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenging attitudes towards domestic abuse in Wales.

In England and Wales 29% of women and 16% of men have experienced domestic abuse at some point in their lives, but because it often happens behind closed doors the problem is ignored.  The effects of physical and emotional torment can be far-reaching, having a huge impact on the health of the victim and that of any children living in the home.

The campaign centres on the Live Fear Free website which features four domestic abuse stories written from different viewpoints. Readers are invited to read the stories and leave their comments.
