Domestic abuse, also known as domestic violence, involves a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviors used by one person to exert power over another in a close relationship. It can include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse. Victims often experience fear, isolation, and manipulation, making it difficult to seek help. Support for survivors includes access to shelters, counseling, legal assistance, and community resources aimed at safety planning and empowerment. Addressing domestic abuse requires societal awareness, advocacy, and interventions to promote healthy relationships and prevent harm.
