Domestic Violence • Domestic violence and emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control the other. • Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. • Women whose partners are mistreating them tend to keep their abuse from their friends and family a secret, in an attempt to protect their spouses.

  7. Countries where domestic violence is used. • Cambodia • Colombia • Dominican Republic • Egypt • Haiti • India • Nicaragua • Peru • Zambia

  8. Percentage of the victims of domestic violence between men and women
