Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a serious and widespread problem that affects millions of people around the world. It is **a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner**². Domestic violence can take many forms, such as physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological abuse²³. It can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, sex, or gender identity². It can also happen in both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships².
Domestic violence can have devastating consequences for the victims and their families. It can cause physical injuries, mental health problems, chronic pain, substance abuse, isolation, and even death¹⁴. It can also harm children who witness or experience it, making them more likely to develop behavioral, emotional, and social problems². Domestic violence is not only a personal issue, but also a public health and social justice issue that affects everyone.
