What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is defined as any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.
It occurs across society, irrespective of race, gender, culture, nationality, faith, sexuality, disability, age, social or economic status, and education or health status.
It is mainly perpetrated by men against women, however the information provided here will be useful whether you are a woman or a man who has experienced domestic violence. Everyone has the same rights under the law.
You are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will suffer from domestic abuse in their lifetime.
