Domestic abuse victims often stay in their abusive relationships and violent homes because these victims feel they have no way out. If you suspect a person may suffer from domestic abuse, offer that person a way out. For example, if a woman friend of yours may get abused, offer to let her stay at your house. You don’t even have to tell her why, if she tends to get defensive when questioned. If you can’t personally provide the victim with a way out, show the victim where she/he can get help, such as domestic abuse shelters or hotlines.
