Domestic Violence Facts

                           Domestic violence can be influenced by a range of factors, including:

1.  Power and Control: Many abusers seek to exert power and control over their partners, often using intimidation, threats, and manipulation to maintain dominance in the relationship.

2.  Substance Abuse: Alcohol and drug abuse can exacerbate violent behaviors and reduce inhibitions, leading to increased incidents of domestic violence.

3.  Economic Stress: Financial strain can lead to increased tension within a household, which may contribute to violent outbursts.

4.  Cultural and Social Norms: Societal attitudes that condone violence or view it as an acceptable response to conflict can perpetuate domestic violence.

5.  History of Abuse: Individuals who have experienced or witnessed domestic violence in their childhood may be more likely to either perpetrate or become victims of violence in their adult relationships.

6.  Mental Health Issues: Conditions such as depression, anxiety, or personality disorders can play a role in violent behavior.

7.  Solation: Abusers often isolate their victims from family and friends, making it more difficult for them to seek help or support.
