About Domestic Violence
Domestic violence includes all kinds of physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse, within all types of relationships. The most harmful abuse is carried out by men against women partners, but abuse can also be carried out by women against men, within same sex relationships and by family members. People experience Domestic Violence regardless of their social group, class, age, race, disability, sexuality or lifestyle. Abuse can begin at any time after a relationship has ceased.
One in four women experience Domestic Violence at some time in their lives and thousands of children are affected by witnessing or experiencing violence in their homes.
Every week two women are killed by their current or former partners (Homicide Statistics 1998).
