Abuse and safety
It is hurtful either mentally or physically. Sexual abuse includes being touched, kissed or forced to have sex against your will and often by someone older than you. This is why they need to know as soon as possible. Abuse is always wrong and must be stopped. Apart from being horrible while it is happening it can affect your life. Speaking out as soon as you can makes it less likely you will have problems later. They can be caused by a number of things. But if you know you have suffered abuse you should talk to your GP who can spot if you are at risk of developing any of these problems and will be able to help you. Take the first step — you have to tell someone.
Ending a significant relationship is never easy.

Home – The Hotline®
BEIRUT: Lebanese authorities have set up a dedicated domestic violence hotline to deal with a surge in cases of physical, sexual and psychological abuse since the introduction of home quarantine over the coronavirus disease COVID We quickly move to stop the perpetrators by order of the judicial authorities. There was a case recorded in a southern suburb of Beirut a few days ago that developed into a murder. Three patients were reported to be in a critical condition and over a period of 24 hours, lab tests were carried out on people suspected of having contracted the virus. He was in his 60s and from the town of Dakwa town in western Bekaa. The Lebanese Ministry of Health and infectious disease specialists, meanwhile, warned that the number of COVID cases in the country could be twice the official count. We saw that no health system was able to cope with the epidemic when it had invaded society. The number of cases was doubling every five days, but today and with the efforts of everyone, we are close to reaching the goal of the number doubling every 10 days. Meanwhile, the government was reconsidering its plan to fly home Lebanese expatriates trapped abroad by the COVID outbreak after its proposed mechanism was rejected by a number of countries. This will require a great effort. The Amal Movement and Hezbollah were preparing to quarantine returnees, including their supporters from African countries, in dedicated hotels in the south of the country.
