A Time for Awareness, A Time for Action: Recognising National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month

October marks National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a pervasive issue that affects countless individuals and families across the UK. At Pepperells Solicitors, we believe it’s not just a month for awareness, but a call to action.

Domestic abuse is often hidden behind closed doors, shrouded in shame and silence. It can take many forms, from physical violence to emotional manipulation, financial control, and coercive behavior. The scars it leaves run deep, impacting not only the victim but also their children, families, and communities.

This month, we stand in solidarity with survivors of domestic abuse. We recognise their strength, resilience, and courage in breaking free from these harmful situations. We want you to know that you are not alone.
