TO OUR TOPIC
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEFINED AS:
Domestic violence is any form of abuse within a
household or intimate relationship. It's not limited
to physical violence but encompasses a wide
range of behaviors intended to control, intimidate
or harm another person.
IT CAN BE:
PHYSICAL ABUSE
EMOTIONAL ABUSE
VERBAL ABUSE
FINANCIAL ABUSE
AND
PYSCHOLOGICAL ABUSE
Domestic violence is violence or other abuse that occurs
in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or
cohabitation. The term "domestic violence" is often used
as a synonym for "intimate partner violence", which is
committed by one of the people in an intimate
relationship against the other person, and can take place
in relationships or between former spouses or partners.
In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves
violence against children, parents, or the elderly.
It can assume multiple forms, including physical,
verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive,
financial abuse, or sexual abuse, or combinations of
these. It can range from subtle, coercive forms to
marital rape and other violent physical abuse, such as
choking, beating, female genital mutilation, and acid
throwing that may result in disfigurement or death, and
includes the use of technology to harass, control,
monitor, stalk or hack.Domestic murder includes
stoning, bride burning, honor killing, and dowry death,
which sometimes involves non-cohabitating family
In some countries, domestic violence may be seen as
justified or legally permitted, particularly in cases of
actual or suspected infidelity on the part of the
woman. Research has established that there exists a
direct and significant correlation between a country's
level of gender inequality and rates of domestic
violence, where countries with less gender equality
experience higher rates of domestic
violence.Domestic violence is among the most
underreported crimes worldwide for both men and
Domestic violence often occurs when the abuser believes that
they are entitled to it, or that it is acceptable, justified, or
unlikely to be reported. It may produce an intergenerational
cycle of violence in children and other family members, who
may feel that such violence is acceptable or condoned. Many
people do not recognize themselves as abusers or victims,
because they may consider their experiences as family
conflicts that had gotten out of control.Awareness, perception,
definition and documentation of domestic violence differs
widely from country to country. Additionally, domestic
violence often happens in the context of forced or child
marriages.
In abusive relationships, there may be a cycle of abuse during which
tensions rise and an act of violence is committed, followed by a
period of reconciliation and calm. The victims may be trapped in
domestically violent situations through isolation, power and control,
traumatic bonding to the abuser,cultural acceptance, lack of financial
resources, fear, and shame, or to protect children. As a result of
abuse, victims may experience physical disabilities, dysregulated
aggression, chronic health problems, mental illness, limited finances,
and a poor ability to create healthy relationships. Victims may
experience severe psychological disorders, such as post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). Children who live in a household with violence
often show psychological problems from an early age, such as
avoidance, hypervigilance to threats and dysregulated aggression,
which may contribute to vicarious traumatization.
