What is Domestic Violence?
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is violence committed by one family member
or household member against another.
In fact abuse or battering is a system of behaviors used by one person to control another person's actions and feelings. These behaviors or tactics by the abuser are planned actions that are executed in order to control the victim. It is all about control, not loss of control on the part of the abuser, just control over a weaker partner.

Abuse comes in many forms - physical, sexual, emotional, financial, and psychological. Physical and Sexual abuse are the foundation behind the tactics used for all abuse. If someone fears for theri physical safety or for their life then they can be controlled. Once a victim of violence, they are easily controlled by threats, isoloation or humiliation.
