Domestic Violence is when one person in a relationship uses violence or abuse to maintain power and control over the other person. It often causes the person being abused to live in fear. Domestic violence can include physical, verbal, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse. It can include behaviors like stalking, isolation or controlling what a person does, who they see or even what they wear. Living with domestic violence can have a profound effect on children and young people. There is often more than one victim of abuse. Domestic violence, in all its forms, is unacceptable and a violation of human rights.
