"...I was often asked why I stayed and my reply was I was too afraid. I am no longer afraid. It helps to have a great support system. When you allow your abuser to isolate you from friends and family, you believe you have no way out when thats not true. There is always help, and there is always a way out..."
ADVANCE Advocacy and ADVANCE Minerva aim to support women who are suffering through domestic and sexual abuse, homelessness, ill health, debt or any other problems.
