Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention

What Is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or psychological.

Signs of Domestic Violence:

• Physical harm or threats
• Emotional manipulation and isolation
• Financial control and restricting access to resources
• Coercive behavior, including sexual violence
