FAMILY VIOLENCE

What is Family Violence?
Family violence is a pattern of violent behavior and/or coercive control perpetrated by one family member, household member, or intimate partner against another. Abuse can be physical, emotional, or sexual. Family violence can affect anyone from any socioeconomic, ethnic, geographic, or educational background. The greatest risk factor for victimization is simply being a woman. One in three women worldwide will be abused, raped, or beaten in their lifetime.
