Domestic Violence
Millions of women are physically, sexually, or emotionally abused every year by someone they know and love - their husband or partner. It happens to women of all ages, races, religions and income levels.
Domestic violence includes:
Hitting
Slapping
Pushing
Cursing
Hurting
Burning
Threatening
Denying freedom
Withholding money
Does you partner...
- Threaten to hurt or kill you, your children or your pets?
- Say it's your fault if he or she hits you...then promises it will not happen again (but it does)?
- Put you down in public or keeps you from contacting family or friends?
- Throw you down, push, hit, choke, kick or slap you?
- Force you to have sex when you don't want to?
- Take your money or refuse to give you money?
- Threaten to commit suicide?
- Intimidate you with guns, knives or other weapons?
