Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person. It may involve physical aggression (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, throwing objects, or the threat of such action), sexual abuse, emotional abuse, intimidation, stalking, neglect, or financial control. Victims and abusers can be women or men, married or unmarried, of any age, race, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.
Not all domestic violence behaviors are considered criminal, but they are still wrong. Every person has the right to a life free of abusive, controlling behaviors. You have the right to leave your relationship, even if the abuse has not become physical.
Sexual assault is any involuntary sexual act in which a person is coerced or forced to engage against their will. Sexual assault is a form of violence, including rape, groping, forced kissing, child sexual abuse, or torture of the person in a sexual manner.
