Abusive behaviour can be physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, financial within a coercively controlling relationship. Women are also blamed for dishonouring the family for behaviour considered shameful by perpetrators, husband, partner, or extended family.
It is against the law to force someone to marry in Scotland. Legal protection is available to those who have experienced or living with the threat of forced marriage.
Women subject to immigration control are prohibited from accessing public funds in the form of housing or welfare benefits. Legal protection is available depending upon the immigration status of women.
As part of our 16 Days of Activism campaigning, we've worked in association with Police Scotland to develop this animation.
Funded by Hemat Gryffe Women's Aid and The University of Strathclyde, the animation informs all women experiencing domestic abuse that they are protected from abuse & exploitation by Scots law, as are immigrant women as soon as they arrive in Scotland.
You can view all versions of the animation on our YouTube Channel linked below.
