Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA)

Rural women are at a higher risk of violence − and less likely to get help Research shows that rural women in the US are more likely to be killed by their current or former male partners compared to their urban and suburban counterparts.

This survivor-informed, partnership-led transformation sets a new benchmark for the sector

It is okay to talk, and asking for help is a sign of strength.

If you think you or someone you know may be feeling scared, controlled, or intimidated by their partner or family member, this IS abuse.

If you want to talk to someone, you can speak to our friendly advisers, no pressure, and no judgement.
