Domestic Violence Prevention

Domestic violence prevention refers to the strategies, initiatives, and policies aimed at minimizing violent or aggressive behavior within a household or interpersonal relationship context. This includes physical violence, emotional abuse, psychological manipulation, and other forms of coercive control. Domestic violence poses direct threats to the physical and emotional well-being of victims, making it a public health and safety concern. The ripple effects of domestic violence can extend to children in affected households, community dynamics, and broader societal structures.
