Disabled people and domestic abuse

Did you know that disabled people are more likely to be targeted by abusers

and can experience additional barriers to accessing support? Research has shown that disabled women are twice as likely to be impacted by domestic abuse than non-disabled women.

Disabled people are also likely to be subjected to the abuse for a longer time period.

In addition, disabled people are more likely to be subjected to domestic abuse

by an adult family member than non-disabled people.
