– State gender/DSVA agencies where available (e.g., Lagos, Abuja, and other state response units)
– Speak with a trusted medical professional, religious leader, or community advocate who can help connect you to the right services.
Domestic violence is never “a private matter” to be managed in silence. If you notice red flags—threats, intimidation, isolation, stalking, or physical harm—seek help immediately. Your safety comes first.
