Breaking the silence: Understanding the dynamics and impact of domestic violence

A pattern of violent conduct used by one person to exert control over another in a close relationship is known as domestic violence. Abuse may take many forms, such as financial, psychological, emotional, or sexual. It impacts people from all walks of life and may lead to serious problems with one's physical and emotional well-being, unstable finances, and social isolation. It's critical to recognize the warning signals, which include controlling behavior, seclusion, and inexplicable injuries. Counseling services, hotlines, shelters, and legal aid are available for support. Public awareness campaigns, substantial legislative safeguards, and supportive networks are examples of preventive approaches.
