Aaron's Story: Escaping Domestic Abuse
Main article content
This International Men's Day, we'd like you to meet Aaron.
Aaron is a survivor of domestic abuse.
Aaron was in a same-sex relationship when his partner started to abuse him. He saw the red flags and made the difficult decision to leave when his partner threatened to kill him, and tried to set fire to their flat.
In this video, Aaron speaks about what he went through and how he is now working with The Elm Foundation to turn his life around.
If you or someone you know is suffering from domestic abuse, help is available.
