Abstract:
It is necessary to define violence against women and to understand the context in which it occurs in order to identify it. It can take several forms. The different strategies used by the abuser to exert control over the victim favour a climate of fear and loss of self-confidence. Finding herself in a form of dependency, it is difficult for the victim to leave her abuser; often she does so primarily for her children's sake.
