Domestic abuse is a type of violence that often goes unreported by the victim of abuse. It can involve physical, emotional, or financial mistreatment by a partner, family member, or caregiver.
The types and signs of domestic abuse include:
- Physical abuse, which involves intentional bodily harm;
- Sexual abuse, which refers to any unwanted sexual contact; and
- Mental mistreatment or emotional abuse, which is the intentional infliction of emotional or mental anguish.
Here are the common signs of abuse to look out for:
- unexplained changes in behaviour or personality,
- withdrawal from social activities,
- increased anxiety,
- uncharacteristic aggression,
- lack of social skills and few to no friends,
- poor relationship with a parent,
- knowledge of adult issues inappropriate for their age, and
- running away or going missing.
It is important to be aware of these indicators and take appropriate action if you suspect abuse.
