Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is often understood as the act of physical violence of one family member toward another. In reality, many survivors reveal that they suffer as much from verbal and emotional abuse as from the actual physical abuse. Therefore, domestic violence includes all language and actions which inflict suffering on the victim. Domestic violence also includes behaviors which force someone to do things they do not want to, or prevent them from doing activities that they do want to do.
