Signs of Domestic Violence
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. It is not just physical violence—it can also be emotional, psychological, financial, or sexual. Here are some common signs of abuse to look out for:
Controlling behavior
Monitoring your movements, isolating you from friends or family, or limiting your access to money or resources.
Emotional abuse
Manipulation, intimidation, or making you feel scared, worthless, or guilty.
Verbal abuse
Insults, humiliation, threats, or constant criticism.
Sexual abuse
Forcing you into sexual activities without your consent.
Physical violence
Hitting, pushing, slapping, or causing physical harm.
Financial abuse
Controlling or restricting your money and financial independence.
If you recognize any of these signs in your life or someone else’s, it’s important to seek help. You are not alone.
