Domestic violence is any behavior that aims at gaining power and control over a spouse, partner or family member.
Abuse is a learned behavior; it is not caused by anger, mental problems, drugs, or other common excuses. Unfortunately, it has become a global problem.
Domestic violence can affect anyone of any age or gender. Whether it’s physical or psychological, domestic abuse is destructive for both the battered and the batterer.
If you are being abused, don’t hesitate to seek help!
