What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is a pattern of coercive, controlling behavior that can include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse. It is used to gain power over an intimate partner, often leaving survivors feeling isolated and afraid.

Domestic violence affects people of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, age, income, or community. No one deserves abuse—help is available.

What is Sexual Violence?

Sexual violence refers to any unwanted sexual act committed without consent, including sexual assault, harassment, exploitation, and coercion. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age or gender, and often has lasting physical and emotional effects. 

Survivors of sexual violence deserve support, healing, and justice. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, you are not alone—help is here.
