The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit have partnered with local authorities in the area to launch a domestic abuse campaign which will run between Friday 14th May 2021 and Friday 23rd July 2021.

Using eight short YouTube animations, the aim of the campaign is to encourage anyone experiencing domestic abuse to ask for help and support. The animations are based on real life experiences of people living in South Yorkshire and explain how things started well but then became abusive. Through accessing support, these survivors are now living happy lives away from harm.
