Action Against Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
Includes any form of physical, sexual or emotional abuse of people, in a close relationship. It can take a number of forms such as physical assault, sexual abuse, rape, threats and intimidation. It may be accompanied by other kinds of intimidation such as degradation, mental and verbal abuse, humiliation, deprivation, systematic criticism and belittling.
Domestic Violence not only causes damage to its immediate victims, but may also affect children within the relationship. Children may be at risk of suffering long-term psychological and emotional damage as a result of witnessing the violence perpetrated against their mothers or fathers, experiencing the stresses and tensions involved in living in an environment where the likelihood of violence is ever present, or becoming actual victims of violence and abuse.
