What Is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is the attempt to control your partner's thoughts, feelings and actions.

Physical violence is one form of domestic violence, but other tactics of abuse and control can be just as painful for women. These include verbal and psychological abuse, isolation, rape, economic abuse and intimidation. Even if the violence does not happen often, it remains a hidden and terrorizing factor.
