Victims and survivors of domestic abuse are telling their own stories to encourage everyone to stand against all forms of abuse.

It is part of ‘See Me’, a new campaign by South Wales Police, highlights incidents of violence against women and girls.

New data has found at least one in every 12 women will be a victim of VAWG-related crimes per year, with the exact number expected to be much higher.

The campaign aims to raise awareness to identify signs of abuse and encourage reporting.

It has an emphasis on the fact that it’s everyone’s responsibility to call this behaviour out, whether it’s domestic violence, controlling and coercive behaviour, sexual violence, intimidation, stalking and harassment, catcalling, revenge porn or unwanted touching.

Assistant chief constable of South Wales Police Joanna Maal said: "We want all women and girls who live, work, socialist or study in South Wales to not only be safe but to feel safe, whether that is in public spaces, at home or online.

“Our new campaign, See Me, has been developed to ultimately reduce incidents of violence, harassment, and abuse. We have worked with a group of extremely brave women who have shared their stories to encourage other victims to come forward or seek support if they don’t feel ready to report.”

South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Emma Wools said: “I hope this campaign will encourage and strengthen our collective awareness and responses to the needs of women and girls from all communities when they seek the support and guidance.”

If you've experienced or witnessed abuse, by reporting it you could help to end violence against women and girls.

If you don't want to talk to the police or if you want extra support, there are lots of people who can help.
