#domesticviolence we all have faced it sometimes in a relationship, its high time we spoke about this in the open and stop worrying about the consequences, this problem, or issue as we call it does not occur only in the lower classes this happens in the upper class, upper-middle-class and the elite society as well, no one wants to speak about this and everyone tolerates domestic violence in some manner or the other, some think it will end shortly, some pity themselves for being where they are, some blame themselves for the situation and some do not want to get out of their comfort zones and hence allow violence. It is when abusive behavior is used by one partner to maintain control over the other partner be it male or female. They are different types of domestic violence one goes through like physical abuse, emotional abuse, economic abuse, psychological abuse, threats, etc.  Abusers humiliate their partners, they reduce their self-worth, isolate them from their family and friends and the victim feels helpless and powerless in this situation .it is important for us to understand that we need to stand up for ourselves empower ourselves, today there are many institutions and resources that help in these situations. We all need to live free and out of fear, We all need to reach out and speak. Dare to be Another U.
