WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?
Domestic violence is most commonly thought of as intimate partner violence, but can also include violence or abuse from a family member.
Domestic violence does not discriminate. Anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender can be a victim – or perpetrator – of domestic violence. It can happen to people who are married, living together or who are dating. It affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.
