Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is an actual or threatened act of harassment, assault or violence (mental, physical or sexual) carried out by a current or former member of a household against another member of the same household.

Domestic Violence can occur within any household and against men or women.

Some examples are:

Physical abuse – slapping, pushing, kicking, punching and stabbing
Sexual abuse – rape and non-consensual sexual acts
Emotional or psychological abuse – intimidation, isolation, verbal abuse, not allowing visitors or destroying belongings.
Financial abuse or denial of rights – withholding money or medical help
