What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence, also known as gender-based violence or intrafamily violence, refers to a pattern of behavior in which one family member or intimate partner exerts control, abuse, or aggression over another. This type of violence can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including:

Domestic violence can affect people of any age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. However, women are disproportionately affected by this type of violence. The consequences of domestic violence not only affect the victim but can also impact children and other family members, and have social and economic repercussions on the community.

It is important to emphasize that domestic violence is a crime, and there are laws and resources available to help victims escape these situations. Awareness and education on this issue are critical to preventing and eradicating domestic violence.

SECURITY PLAN

Developing a safety plan is crucial for those experiencing domestic violence. A well-structured plan can help victims minimize risks and make informed decisions.

TYPES OF VIOLENCE

Domestic violence can manifest itself in many forms, and it’s not always easy to recognize. Sometimes, people in an abusive relationship don’t realize the damage until much time has passed. Here’s a gentler, more respectful explanation of what may be happening:

Physical violence

It’s when someone physically harms you, such as hitting, pushing, or yelling at you. This can leave you with bruises or injuries, but it can also make you feel very unsafe.

Emotional violence

Sometimes the damage isn’t visible, but it can run deep. If you’re made to feel like you’re not enough, that you can’t make decisions for yourself, or if they yell at you or say things that hurt your heart, that’s also abuse. Words hurt, and the lies or promises they make to make you believe they’ll change sometimes leave you even more confused.

Economic violence

In some relationships, the other person tries to control your money, doesn’t let you work, or restricts you from accessing your own resources. This can make you feel dependent and unable to be independent.

Sexual violence

No one has the right to force you to do something you don’t want, or to force you to have sex. If you feel pressured or things are done to you without your consent, that’s abuse.

Excessive control or jealousy

Sometimes, the people who hurt you always try to know where you are, who you’re with, or what you’re doing, and they may try to isolate you from your loved ones. This can make you feel trapped, like you can’t make your own decisions.

Aislamiento

If you feel increasingly alone, as if no one can help you, or if you’re being cut off from your friends or family, that’s also a form of abuse. You’re made to feel like you have no one to rely on.

Ciclos de abuso

It’s common for the other person to apologize or promise to change after an argument or abuse. Sometimes, the situation seems to improve for a while, but then the same pattern repeats. This can leave you feeling confused and unsure whether what’s happening is right or wrong.

Remember that your well-being is the most important thing, and that you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel respected, safe, and valued. If any of these things resonate with you, it’s important to talk to someone you trust or seek professional support. You are not alone, and there are people willing to help you find a way out. Your safety and happiness are the most important thing.
