What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is an act of abuse against one’s partner or family member to gain control over the victim. Commonly misinterpreted as purely physical,domestic abuse takes on many forms:
• Economic and Financial - In addition to hurting you emotionally and physically, an abusive partner may also hurt you in the pocketbook. Economic or financial abuse includes: controlling finances, withholding money and credit cards, giving you an allowance, preventing you from working or making you account for every penny.
• Emotional and Verbal - Name calling, sexual put-downs, implying craziness.
• Intimidation and Threats - Creating fear by using looks, actions, loud voices, gestures, body positioning, smashing or destroying property.
• Male Privilege - Treating individual like a servant, controlling as property, making all decisions, acting superior.
• Physical - There’s a broad range of behaviors that come under the heading of physical abuse, including hitting, grabbing, choking, throwing things, and assault with a weapon.
