Abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and sexual. Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Recognise abuse: Know the signs of abuse and understand that it’s never your fault.
• Speak out: If you’re being abused, tell a trusted adult or contact a helpline.
• Get help: There are many organisations that can provide support and protection.

Remember, it’s always okay to ask for help and support. Stay safe and take care of yourself!
