“I'm a big guy. No one would believe that I've been abused. An old girlfriend got so angry once that she choked me. Afterwards she said I should call the police on her. I should have, but I didn't think they'd believe me. I didn’t think anyone would believe me. I’ve never said anything, ‘til now.” –Barry In 2021, there were more than 114,000 instances of intimate partner violence reported to the police in Canada. This number likely underrepresents the true scope as many cases go unreported. 79% of the reports were from women, 21% from men. If you’re in an abusive relationship, say something today, to someone you can trust. Let them help you out.
