Domestic violence is any violent or abusive behaviour used by one person to dominate and control another within a close personal or family relationship.
It can manifest itself in many ways:
- It can be physical: Beating, punching, kicking, slapping, or sexual assault.
- It can be emotional: Bullying, isolating from family and friends, undermining self-confidence.
- It can be verbal: Put downs, name calling, shouting.
- It can be threats: Threats to kill or harm you or another person, including children; to kill or harm pets; threats to kill themselves.
- It can be financial: Control over money; not allowing money for personal items, food or transport.Unfortunately Violence against women continues to be a global pandemic.
"Everyone has a responsibility to prevent and end violence against women and girls, starting by challenging the culture of discrimination that allows it to continue."
Secretary-General of the UN
