Welcome to our page dedicated to support services for domestic violence. We are aware that talking about these situations can be difficult, so we have created this page to give you some advice on what domestic violence is and how to recognize it if you think you are a victim of it.
It is important to understand that domestic violence can take different forms:
-
Physical violence includes beatings, slaps, pushes, strangulations, burns, mutilations and any other violent act that causes physical harm to the victim.
-
Sexual violence can take the form of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, coercion into unwanted sexual acts, or any other form of sexual violence.
-
Psychological abuse can include humiliation, isolation, belittlement, manipulation, control, emotional blackmail, harassment and any other behavior that aims to belittle or control someone.
-
Finally, economic violence includes deprivation of financial resources, destruction of property, control of the victim's finances, as well as any behavior that makes the victim financially dependent and vulnerable.
It is important to know that these different forms of violence are not mutually exclusive and can overlap. It is also important to note that domestic violence is not just reserved for heterosexual couples and can affect all marital relationships, whether heterosexual or homosexual.
You'll find here several useful addresses for help and support, in particular associations specialized in supporting victims, emergency numbers to contact in the event of immediate danger, as well as information on legal proceedings and available protection measures.
If you feel in danger or think you are a victim of domestic violence, do not hesitate to contact one of the support services we have listed on this page.
You are not alone and it is possible to get out of this situation.
