About Domestic Violence

The definion of Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior exhibited by one person towards another between whom there is an intimate relationship. Domestic violence is characterized by the misuse of power and control.

In Fact, domestic violence is a pervasive, insidious feature of everyday life for women and children in America. Children represent the largest homeless population nationally and most have witnessed domestic violence in their homes and have sought sanctuary in our emergency shelter system.

Domestic violence may include any, though perhaps not all, of the following: 

Physical Abuse- pushes or shoves you, slaps or hits you, pulls your hair, kicks or punches you, restrains you with force, chokes you, throws objects at you, abandons you in a dangerous place, grabs you roughly, twists your arm, takes "playful wrestling" too far, pinches you, subjects you to reckless driving, threatens you with weapons. 

Emotional Abuse- Ignores your feelings, withholds approval, appreciation or affection as punishment, continually criticizes you (calls you names, shouts at you), makes all decisions for you, wants to control all your actions, humiliates you in public or in private, ridicules your most valued beliefs, your religion, your culture, your race/heritage.

Sexual Abuse- Calls you sexual names, forces you to take off your clothing, touches you in ways that make you feel uncomfortable, forces you to have sex against your will, treats members of your gender as objects, insists you dress more or less sexually than you want to, minimizes the importance of your feelings about sex, accuses you of sexual activity with others.
