One in four women and one in six men suffer domestic abuse at some time in their lives. If your partner hurts you, belittles you, scares you or in any way limits your freedoms, this is domestic abuse and you do not have to put up with it. Domestic abuse is usually reported as being men hurting women, but men can be victims too.
The LSESU Advice Service can signpost you to other services, they are not however trained counsellors that can aid you directly in the case of emergency connected to domestic violence.
If you live in the LSE Halls, you can contact wardens, members of Pastoral Support Team or Peer Supporters living in halls. You can also report incidents of bullying and harassment via the Report it. Stop it. tool.
If you have experienced sexual harassment or violence as a student, and would like to be seen within 24 hours (during the week), you can book a priority counselling appointment. If the issue relates specifically to sexual violence you can book an appointment with trained Sexual Violence Support worker.
If you have experienced abuse, there are services that focus on helping women (like National Domestic Abuse helpline, Women's Aid, Hestia), as well as men (Survivors UK, ManKind Initiative).
For general support you can contact Supportline.
