What Is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is much more than just physical violence. Abuse can be mental, emotional, financial, or otherwise. Abuse is about power and control over another person. There is never an excuse for violence.

Sexual assault is never the fault of the victim- criminals choose to commit crimes; victims don’t choose to be victims. It doesn’t matter what we’re wearing, what we’ve done in the past, or whether or not we said yes but then changed our mind. We all deserve to have our boundaries respected by others.
