Domestic abuse can have an enormous effect on your mental health.
It is now well accepted that abuse (both in childhood and in adult life) is often the main factor in the development of depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders, and may lead to sleep disturbances, self-harm, suicide and attempted suicide, eating disorders and substance misuse.. - a survivor handbook.

FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes, and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women. It is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security and physical integrity, the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the right to life when the procedure results in death.
"Among women who have had FGM/C done, we see a high rate of women who have been sexually attacked, have increased mental and physical trauma, a lot of domestic violence and PTSD, are coming from war torn area, these men and women have experienced so many other traumas." - Health care provider
