Samenvatting:

Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate partner against another.

It is an epidemic affecting victims from every community regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background.

Violence against women is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior and is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Most cases are never reported to the police.

Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma and sometimes death.

The consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and truly lasts a lifetime. An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault every year.
