 Domestic Violence In The World

Abuse comes in many different types of forms. No one ever deserves to experience abuse.

Examples of Financial Abuse

• You have a joint bank account, and your partner monitors your spending and yells at you for every purchase.
• Your partner gives you an allowance, and you are only allowed to spend that money on what they need.
• Your partner affects your ability to work, such as causing you to be consistently late or preventing you from going to work some days, leading to issues or potential firing.
• Your partner receives your public assistance check and refuses to give it to you.
• Your partner takes any money earned from you and controls where you spend it.
• In these situations, the partner who is abusive has control over the finances and has the power to determine if the other partner can work or not. This imbalance is abusive.

Examples of Emotional Abuse

• Your partner name calls you or demeans you.
• Your partner tries to control you, your time, and your actions.
• Your partner tells you what to do and what to wear.
• Your partner often makes you feel silly or dumb.

• Your partner punishes you by withholding attention or affection.
• Your partner doesn’t want you hanging out with someone of another gender.
• Your partner makes threats to hurt you or others to get what they want.
