Domestic violence as a public health issue has been recognized by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Inter-American Commission of Women of the Organization of American States.
It can happen in opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, dating or somehow estranged. A person does not have to be married to be experiencing domestic violence. Domestic violence also has a substantial effect on family members, especially children. Each child is unique and may respond differently to the abuse, but there are common short and long-term effects that can impact a childâs day-to-day functioning.
