Your
Rights...
I am not to blame
for being beaten and abused.
I am not the cause of anothers
violent behaviour.
I do not like it or want it.
I do not
have to take it.
I am an important human being.
I am a
worthwhile woman.
I deserve to be treated with respect.
I
do have power over my own life.
I can use my power to take good
care of myself.
I can decide for myself what is best for me.
I can make changes in my life if I want to.
I am not
alone. I can ask others for help.
I am worth working for and
changing for.
I deserve to make my own life safer and happier.

if you treat her
as if she were what she ought to be or could be, perhaps she will become
that."
