Types of family and sexual violence
Physical Abuse
Any intentional and unwanted bodily contact. Sometimes abusive behavior does not cause pain or even leave a bruise, but it's still unhealthy.
Emotional Abuse
Non-physical behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring, excessive texting, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or stalking.
Financial Abuse
Can include telling you what you can and cannot buy or require you to share control of your bank accounts.
Stalking
When a person you may or may not know repeatedly watches, follows or harasses you, making you feel afraid and unsafe.
Digital Abuse
The use of technologies to bully, harass, stalk or intimidate a partner. Often this behavior is a form of verbal or emotional abuse perpetrated online.
Sexual Violence
Refers to any action that pressures or coerces someone to do something sexually they don't want to do.
