The two most common early signs of domestic violence are jealousy and controlling behaviour. It’s easy for people to say: “why don’t they just leave?” but statistics show that up to 75% of abused women who are murdered are murdered after they leave their partners. Domestic violence comes on not like a tsunami but as a steady wave, said Kit Gruelle, a survivor of domestic violence.

Too often, many women do try to leave toxic and abusive situations and tragically, they pay with their lives.
