What is Domestic Abuse?
The UK government’s definition of domestic abuse is "any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality."
1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. The number of reported incidents is rising, with the UK Police recording an average of one incident of domestic abuse per minute.
Domestic abuse can take many different forms, including:
-
using intimidation
-
using emotional abuse
-
using isolation
-
minimising, denying and blaming
-
using children
-
using economic abuse
-
using coercion and threats
-
physical and/or sexual abuse.
