Relationship Violence

Relationship violence, also known as intimate partner violence, refers to harmful behaviors in a romantic or intimate relationship where one partner seeks to exert power and control over the other. This can manifest as physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual abuse. Victims may experience manipulation, threats, isolation, or coercion, often leading to long-term trauma. It affects individuals regardless of age, gender, or background, and it's important to recognize the warning signs and seek help, as healthy relationships should be built on respect, equality, and support.
