When do you think there will be shelters for the victims of domestic abuse from women?
I had a a friend bullied to suicide by their mother but there was just no support for someone who wasn't physically abused by a man in the 00s.

Should someone present at almost any shelter now their case will be assessed on whether violence occurred rather than gender.
My organisation is in the UK, so I can’t speak for elsewhere.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend, and for your loss. DV is truly horrible in all circumstances, and the effects ripple through many people.
Domestic abuse does not begin and end with violence.
My friend was never physically hurt, yet he was still tortured enough to kill himself.
