DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
Is more than abuse. It deprives a woman of her basic human rights through degradation, disempowerment and exploitation. It cultivates anxiety and despair, leaving her confused and fearful. It is present on 1 in 4 relationships and is much more common than people think.
There are seven forms of abuse:
- Physical abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Social abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Financial abuse
- Spiritual abuse.
