What is Domestic Violence?
The Families Without Fear Project defines domestic violence as actual and threatened abuse against any person within an intimate relationship, regardless of gender or sexuality. It may be physical, verbal, sexual, emotional, psychological or financial in nature, and it may involve relationships with both current and ex-partners.
