According to the World Health Organization (WHO), domestic violence is any behavior within a relationship that causes physical, psychological or sexual harm to another person in the household. It affects women, children, the elderly and any family member, destroying lives and perpetuating cycles of abuse that can last for generations.
Victims live in a constant state of fear, trapped in an environment where love and safety should prevail. This reality leaves not only visible scars, but also deep emotional wounds that accompany them throughout their lives.
