Domestic violence is control by one partner over another in a
dating, marital or live-in relationship. The means of control
include physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse, threats and
isolation. Survivors face many obstacles in trying to end the abuse
in their lives. These obstacles include psychological and economic
entrapment, physical isolation and lack of social support,
challenges to religious and cultural values, fear of social
judgement, threats and intimidation over custody or separation,
immigration status or disabilities and lack of viable alternatives.
Despite the vastness and power of these challenges most are able to
overcome them because of increased public, legal and health care
awareness and improved community resources that enable survivors to
rebuild their lives. Domestic violence occurs in every culture,
country and age group. It affects people from all socio-economic,
educational and religious backgrounds and takes place in same sex
as well as heterosexual relationships. Women with fewer resources
or greater perceived vulnerability -- girls and those experiencing
physical or psychiatric disabilities or living below the poverty
line -- are at even greater risk for domestic violence and lifetime
abuse. Children are also affected by domestic violence, even if
they do not witness it directly. The book examines crucial issues
in the field.
