What is Intimate Partner Violence/Domestic Violence? It is a pattern of abusive behavior by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or co-habitation. This applies regardless of age.
It appears in many forms and both men and women suffer as the abuser and the victim. This includes not only physical aggressions (hitting, kicking, restraining) but sexual, emotional abuse, intimidation, stalking, neglect and economic deprivation.
