What To Do If You Suspect Domestic Violence

If you suspect your neighbours are experiencing domestic violence, the best approach is cautious compassion: document what you hear, report to your landlord, and if the situation seems life-threatening, contact the police without hesitation. Remember, however, that the victim is the one who must decide when and how to seek help. For safety reasons, maintain your own safety, set boundaries, and seek advice from domestic abuse hotlines. You are not responsible for the violence, but by staying aware and prepared, you can play a role in ensuring that help reaches those who need it, without placing yourself at unnecessary danger.
