DOMESTIC DOMESTIC VIOLENCEVIOLENCE

What is?

Domestic Violence happens when a family member, partner or ex-partner attempts to dominate physically or psychologically another member of the family.

In the huge majority of the cases, men attempt to dominate women. This is the

case that I’m going to explain you.
