Domestic violence is a form of gender-based violence that happens between two people who are married, dating or living together. Domestic violence mostly affects women because we live in a male-dominated society, where men make the majority of social, economic and political decisions.

​
The use of domestic violence is rooted in inequitable attitudes about women and devalues their human rights to live free from all forms of violence. When men choose to use domestic violence, they are unfairly using their power to control and dominate their partner.  

This does not mean all men commit violence, and violence against women does not happen because of any one person’s culture, creed, ethnicity, race, religion or beliefs.

Sometimes when you experience stressful changes in life, like moving or transitioning to a new country, it can put a strain on your relationship.​ Talk with your partner and listen to each other’s concerns to learn how you both can deal with the transition, together.

All women deserve to feel safe, valued and appreciated in the home.

Do you know the forms domestic violence can take?
