Understanding Abuse
Abuse is a pattern of behavior used by an abuser to establish power and control over another person. Underlying all abuse is a power imbalance between the person and their abuser.
Abuse IS about:
- A pattern of coercive and assaultive behaviors, including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion that men use against their intimate female partner
- A pattern of behaviors including a variety of tactics - some which cause physical harm, some which do not, some criminal and some not - carried out frequently and sometimes in daily episodes
