Flora's Story-

 

35, civil servant


"Dancing brought us together. But then it provided an excuse for jealousy. There were no insults, degrading comments, attempts to cut me off from others, threats or physical violence when we first met, but they soon came. To cope with them, I contacted a victim support association, SOS Femme Solidarité, who helped me a great deal, both morally and materially. After we broke up I had to move out of my flat because he had sent me death threats. I experienced real fear – the type where you shake from head to foot for fear of dying, being disfigured for life or being disabled. And yet we had separated and I had reported him to the police. If he isn’t supervised, I wonder what offences he will commit next and who his next victim will be. These keys symbolise the flat where I can sleep safely now and have been able to start a new life."
