It is never the responsibility of the person experiencing violence. The responsibility always lies with the perpetrator. No one should feel shame or guilt for painful experiences. However, the person experiencing violence must take responsibility for beginning to regain control over their own life and protecting any children involved.

When we talk about violence in close relationships, it involves experiencing violations, control, threats, and/or physical harm from someone you love or have a relationship with, someone you trust. It can be a current or former partner, cohabitant, spouse, sibling, parent, or adult child.
Violence is created through fear and coercion. Violence occurs through physical actions, words, and psychological control. There are many types of violence:
This is the easiest form of violence to understand as being wrong. Violence is physical when someone hits, kicks, or uses objects to inflict pain.
Sexual violence includes actions that force or threaten someone to participate in sexual activity. Sexual violence is often associated with shame, but it is never the victim who should feel shame.
Not all violence involves physical actions. Intimidating, humiliating, or causing harm in ways that are not directly physical is also violence.
Everyone has the right to control their own finances. If someone in your relationship takes control of your finances, forces you to sign papers against your will, or takes money from you, you are subjected to economic violence.
It’s not just the body that experiences violence. If someone destroys or damages things to scare or humiliate you, it is material violence.
Latent violence is closely related to psychological violence. In some relationships, the fear of violence creates insecurity and fear. This is often the most common form of violence in close relationships.
All marriages and relationships should be based on voluntary consent. If you are in a relationship or marriage based on coercion, threats, or strong pressure, we define this as violence.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a collective term for various types of interventions on the external genitalia of girls and women carried out for cultural reasons. From a medical perspective, there is no reason to alter the genitals of healthy girls.
Human trafficking is the organized trade of people. Human trafficking is exploiting children, women, and men to perform work and services using coercion, violence, threats, or by exploiting the person’s vulnerable situation.
