Domestic violence

  • What is Domestic Violence?

    Domestic violence, also called domestic abuse, includes physical, emotional and sexual abuse in couple relationships or between family members. Domestic violence can happen against anyone, and anybody can be an abuser. Anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexuality or background.
    Domestic abuse is not always physical violence. It can also include:
    – Coercive control and ‘gaslighting’
    – Economic abuse
    – Online abuse
    – Threats and intimidation
    – Emotional abuse
    – Sexual abuse
