Violence, or the threat of violence that takes place between relatives or between people in a relationship is called domestic violence or domestic abuse. It can happen to all people; whether rich or poor, young or old, male or female, gay or straight.
It not only affects the adults involved but has an enormous impact on your children. It includes physical abuse but also bullying, emotional or sexual abuse intimidation or limiting someone’s freedom. There is no need for any physical violence to have taken place. Everyone has the right to live a life free of domestic violence and abuse.
