ABOUT THE PROBLEM
- Domestic violence (also called “family violence” and “intimate partner violence”) can include actual physical or sexual violence, threats of physical or sexual violence, stalking, and emotional or psychological abuse.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), various forms of domestic violence collectively affect millions of people in the U.S. In Virginia, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.
