Types of Domestic Violence: Unveiling the Masks of Abuse

1. Physical Abuse: Often the most visible form, physical abuse includes any act of violence or physical harm, such as hitting, choking, or other forms of physical assault. It leaves visible scars, both physically and emotionally.
2. Emotional and Psychological Abuse: This form of abuse can be more insidious as it gradually erodes self-esteem and mental well-being. It includes behaviours like manipulation, constant criticism, humiliation, and intimidation.
3. Sexual Abuse: This involves any forced or coerced sexual act or behaviour. It's a violation of the most intimate kind and can have profound psychological effects.
4. Financial Abuse: Here, the abuser exerts control over the victim's financial resources, limiting their ability to use, acquire, and maintain financial assets. It's a powerful method of entrapment in the relationship.
5. Digital Abuse: In our increasingly online world, abuse can also extend into the digital realm. This includes using technology to harass, stalk, or intimidate a partner.

Each type of abuse, whether physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, financial, or digital, can leave deep and lasting impacts. Recognising these forms of abuse is vital in understanding the complex dynamics of domestic violence and beginning the journey towards healing.
