It is important to recognise that domestic violence is a widespread problem that cannot be ignored. It is as serious as other forms of violence, harassment or abuse. It is unacceptable and is not to be tolerated, because everyone has the right to live free from violence and abuse in any form.
Domestic violence can be defined as abuse between family members, current or former partners in, or previously in, an intimate relationship, whenever and wherever this occurs. Domestic violence involves abuses of power and controlling behaviours, and may include:
- 攻击,强奸,财产破坏等物理行为
- 破坏性批评,压力策略,威胁,贬低,突破等非身体行为相信,隔离,金融和骚扰的压迫控制
虽然女性更常见的是,妇女体验家庭暴力,但是男人也可以受到国内虐待,并且任何正在经历的人都经历过,经历过的人,或者受到家庭暴力的影响,应该寻求警方,他们的GP,当地网络或国家慈善机构的支持。
