Rural life and Domestic Abuse
Guildford and Waverley Boroughs have a significant rural population.
Did you know?
- Rural victims are half as likely to report abuse to others
- Rural victims’ abuse goes on significantly longer
- Rural victims cannot readily access support services
- Rural victims are often isolated, unsupported and unprotected in a rural hell which is purposefully ‘normalised’
