Women Abuse (Stop The Violence)

 Woman abuse is any use of psychological, physical or sexual  force, actual or threatened, in an intimate relationship. Intimate  relationships include a current or former spouse, and an intimate, or  dating partner. Violence is used to intimidate, humiliate or frighten victims, or to make them feel powerless, which i would as person classified as an act carried out by cowards, which should be stopped at all levels, dating, friendship, marriage even parents to female child. www.domesticviolence.ca

 Men can also be abused, but the term 'woman abuse' recognizes that  women are most often the victims of abuse and men are most often the  perpetrators. Abuse against women occurs in families of all  socioeconomic, educational and cultural backgrounds and is found in both  rural and urban settings. Women in lesbian relationships can also be at  risk for abuse. The abuse may be a single act, but most often  it occurs in a context where there is a pattern of assaultive and  controlling behaviour. There may be a number of acts which appear minor  when viewed in isolation, but collectively form a pattern that amounts  to abuse. Typically, abuse escalates in frequency and/or severity. Once  an abuser uses physical violence, they are likely to intensify their  assaults and increase the woman’s risk of harm and serious  life-threatening injury. No one form of abuse is worse than the  others. Non-physical forms of abuse are as harmful to women as physical  abuse. Tactics of control may appear gradually as coercive behaviours  that are not be criminal in nature. This subtle process makes it very  difficult for the woman, as well as friends, family or professionals to  recognize it as abuse. Many women identify the emotional and  psychological consequences of abuse as more damaging than the physical  assaults. While emotional abuse can occur in the absence of physical  abuse, the two often occur together.
