A Law Firm For Life
Domestic abuse is the abuse of power in a close relationship. It takes many forms including:
- Physical
- Psychological
- Sexual
- Economic
- Verbal
- Emotional
Domestic abuse occurs across all classes, nationalities, religions, cultures, ages, physical and mental abilities. It happens in gay and lesbian relationships. In a British Crime Survey in 2004, it was found that 1 in 4 women experience domestic abuse at some stage in their life. In addition to actual physical harm, victims often experience associated feelings of shame, guilt and humiliation.
