Domestic Violence and Neglect

Domestic violence refers to abusive behavior in intimate relationships, where one partner seeks to gain or maintain power and control over the other. This can include physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual abuse. Neglect, on the other hand, involves failing to provide essential care, support, or supervision to vulnerable individuals, such as children or the elderly. Both issues can have serious, long-term impacts on health and well-being, and they often intersect, creating complex challenges for victims seeking safety and support. Addressing domestic violence and neglect involves legal, social, and community efforts to protect victims and reduce incidences.
