We are building a community that does not
tolerate domestic violence and stands united
to prevent all forms of it.

Domestic violence occurs when one person in
an intimate relationship attempts to gain
coercive power and control over the other by
using physical, emotional/verbal, sexual or
material force. This abuse takes place within
a system of power and control and is not an
isolated incident.
