Disability and domestic abuse: No-one knows what is happening behind those walls
Published
As cases of domestic abuse rise during lockdown, people are forced to spend more time with their abusers. As Sara Cincurova explores, disabled victims can face particular challenges. When you are disabled and live with your abuser, you are scared to talk, says Ebere, a disabled survivor who was abused for years. Particularly if you are trapped with him at home, or reliant on his money or care.
Ebere, not her real name, has faced abuse throughout her life.
Born in Nigeria, she contracted polio as a baby and became a wheelchair-user. Her parents considered her disabilities a curse and physically and mentally abused her.
