1 in 3 women experience domestic abuse globally
We believe that no one should have to face domestic abuse and, when they do, care and support should be close at hand.
Domestic abuse is an epidemic affecting millions of people around the world, and one that takes many forms. From physical and sexual abuse, to controlling and coercive behaviour, people are often unaware they are being abused, or are scared to seek help.

Created in partnership with the UK-based crisis support charity Hestia, Hope After Harm, and Wavestone, Bright Sky is for anyone experiencing domestic abuse, or anyone worried about a friend, family member, or someone they know.
