Brick by Brick: Campaign Will Help Domestic Abuse Victims

Many victims fear being judged or misunderstood by family, friends, and colleagues, leading them to suffer in silence. This fear of judgment can prevent victims from seeking help and can keep them trapped in an abusive relationship for years.
