DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is now more broadly defined to include "all acts of physical, sexual, psychological or economic violence" that may be committed by a person who is a family member or a person that has been an intimate partner orspouse, irrespective of whether they lived together.
In 1993, The United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women identified domestic violence as one of three contexts in which violence against womenoccurs, describing it as:
"Physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring in the family, including battering, sexual abuse of female children in thehousehold, violence, rape, female and other traditional practices harmful to women, and violence related to exploitation".

Intimate partner violence

Sexual
Sexual violence, or sexual abuse, as any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances, or acts to traffic, or otherwise directed, against a person’s sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim.
