Have you ever felt uncomfortable in your relationships but weren’t sure if it counted as abuse? You may not be alone. Many people are victims of mistreatment whether physical, psychological, or emotional—without even realizing it. The self-petition under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) can provide a way out for those facing these situations, even if they are not fully aware of their condition.
It is a common myth that domestic violence only affects women in marital relationships. The reality is much more complex. Abuse can come from anywhere:
If any of these examples resonate with you, you may be experiencing abuse without realizing it.
Hitting, pushing, or any form of violence that causes bodily harm.
Manipulation, humiliation, and a constant atmosphere of fear.
Insults, shouting, and belittlement that affect self-esteem.
Attempts to distance you from friends and loved ones, creating dependency.
Abuse in any form is devastating, but you don’t have to face it alone. VAWA can offer you a new opportunity and a path to a safer life. We provide a way for you to exit that situation and start anew with all the benefits that come with securing your status in the United States.
If you feel you are in an abusive situation, remember that your well-being and safety are the most important. At Serving Immigrants, we are here to support you on this journey to a better and safer life. You can contact us now at (305) 907-6151.
