2. Definition
Domestic violence occurs when a family member, partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or
psychologically dominate another. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all races, ethnicities,
religions, sexes and classes can be perpetrators of domestic violence.
Violence can be criminal and includes physical assault (hitting, pushing, shoving, etc.), sexual abuse
(unwanted or forced sexual activity), and stalking. Although emotional, psychological and financial abuse
are not criminal behaviors in some legal systems, they are forms of abuse and can lead to criminal
violence.

3. Recent attention to domestic violence began in thewomen’s movement, particularly feminism and women’s rights, in
the 1970s, as concern about wives being beaten by their husbands gained attention. Estimates are that only about a
third of cases of domestic violence are actually reported in the United States and the United Kingdom. According to the
centers for desease control, domestic violence is a serious, preventable public health problem affecting more than 32
million Americans, or more than 10% of the U.S. population and the Number of murders of women from Spain in 2003-
2009 are 315.

Forms of abuse

5. Physical violence
Physical violence is the intentional use of physical force
with the potential for causing injury, harm, disability, or
death, for example, hitting, shoving, biting, restraint,
kicking, or use of a weapon.

6. Sexual violence
Sexual violence is divided into three categories:
1. use of physical force to compel a person to
engage in a sexual act against his or her will.
2. attempted or completed sex act involving a
person who is unable to understand the
nature or condition of the act.
3. abusive sexual contact.

7. Emotional abuse
Emotional abuse can include humiliating
the victim privately or publicly,
controlling what the victim can and
cannot do, withholding information from
the victim, deliberately doing something
to make the victim feel diminished or
embarrassed, isolating the victim from
friends and family, implicitly blackmailing
the victim by harming others when the
victim expresses independence or
happiness, or denying the victim access
to money or other basic resources and
necessities.

8. Economic abuse
Economic abuse is when the
abuser has complete control over
the victim's money and other
economic resources.

9. Stalking
Stalking generally refers to repeated
behaviour that causes victims to feel a
high level of fear.

10. Domestic violence occurs across the world, in various cultures, and affects people across society, irrespective of
economic status. For example:
Barbados (30%)
Canada (29%)
Egypt (34%)
New Zealand (35%)
Switzerland (21%)
United States (22%)
Some surveys in specific places report figures as high as 50-70% of women surveyed who were ever physically
assaulted by an intimate partner.

11. Another controversy is the level of physical aggression
in relationships of men versus women. For example,
Martin S. Fiebert examined 219 studies on intimate
partner violence and concluded that "women are as
physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in
their relationships with their spouses or male partners".
