Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior in which one partner in an intimate relationship seeks to control and dominate the other partner through physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. It is a form of violence that occurs within the family or household and can affect partners, children, and other family members.

Domestic violence can take many different forms, including physical violence (such as hitting, slapping, or pushing), sexual violence (such as rape or forced sexual acts), emotional abuse (such as verbal insults, threats, or manipulation), and financial abuse (such as controlling finances or preventing a partner from working).

Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects many people around the world, regardless of their race, religion, or social status. It can have long-lasting effects on the victim, including physical injuries, emotional trauma, and a decreased sense of self-worth. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, it is important to seek help from a trusted friend, family member, or professional organization that specializes in supporting victims of domestic violence.
