What Is Domestic Violence? Types, Symptoms, Treatment and More

Domestic violence (also called domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly. It can assume multiple forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, or sexual abuse. It can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital rape and other violent physical abuse, such as choking, beating, female genital mutilation, and acid throwing that may result in disfigurement or death, and includes the use of technology to harass, control, monitor, stalk or hack.[1][2] Domestic murder includes stoning, bride burning, honor killing, and dowry death, which sometimes involves non-cohabitating family members.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN - ABUSE (Short Film)

As part of my final year of BA Acting at the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), I decided to create a short educational film based on domestic abuse and violence against men demonstrating the different sorts of abuse a woman can inflict upon a man, be it bullying, mind games, emotional blackmail and physical violence. Stereotype tends to assume that in such cases (in heterosexual relationships) the woman is the victim, whereas shockingly 40% of all domestic abuse victims are in fact male. It is a very real subject I feel is often over looked, so I created the film to raise awareness for this very important issue.
