All forms of domestic abuse – psychological, financial, emotional and physical come from the abuser’s desire for power and control over an intimate partner or other family members. Domestic abuse is repetitive and life-threatening, it tends to worsen over time and it destroys the lives of women and children.
Crime statistics and research show that domestic abuse is gender specific - that is, it is most commonly experienced by women and perpetrated by men, particularly when there is a pattern of repeated and serious physical assaults, or when it includes rape or sexual assault or results in injury or death. However, one in six men will experience domestic abuse in his lifetime and we also provide one to one Outreach Services to male victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
