Violence on the basis of gender (GBV) most commonly happens within the home, and is called Domestic Violence. The Warrior Project aims to address this by providing information and access to help.
The words ‘Domestic Violence’ refer to physical violence, and also to other aggressive or abusive behaviours that have the effect of repressing the safety, freedom and independence of the victim.
Domestic Violence incudes:
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Emotional, Verbal and Psychological Abuse
- Economic Abuse
- Intimidation
- Harassment
- Stalking
- Damage to Property
- Entry into the victims home without consent (where they don’t live together)
- Any other controlling or abusive behaviour
