Everyone has the right:
- To be free from threats and violence in the home, when accessing services and at all other times
- Threats and violence are always wrong, even if the person doing them is a member of the family or a health worker
- Everyone has the right to live a life without discrimination
- Discrimination is when people are not treated fairly because of their age, gender, ethnicity, where they live, or other factors
