Abuse and toxic relationships
These articles help you recognise domestic abuse, controlling behaviour and sexual harassment at work, and explain where to get help in Nigeria.
Abuse isn't only physical. Emotional, financial, sexual and digital abuse are all abuse, and many people don't use the word for a long time because nobody has hit them. It happens across every income level, religion and ethnic group in Nigeria. The Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act covers physical, emotional and economic abuse and provides for protection orders, though how it's applied varies by state.
Start with recognising domestic abuse and getting help. If the word "narcissist" keeps coming up, read narcissist or NPD? For problems at work, see sexual harassment at work: your options.
A therapist can help you think through what's happening and what you want to do next. You can find one who works with relationships on Mytherapist.ng. If the person harming you can see this device, use a private window or a phone they never check. If you're in danger now, call 112, or 767 in Lagos. Free lines for abuse and crisis support are on our helplines page.
