Module 3: Violence Against Women - Page 11 of 12

There are many types of violence against women, such as rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, elder abuse, and homicide.
Women of all ages can become victims of violence. So can women of any ethnic, racial, or income group.
Women who are married or dating can be victims of rape by their partners. Regardless of the relationship, if the sex is nonconsensual, it is rape.
Abuse takes many forms, such as emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and stalking.
Abusers may use many methods, such as threatening to take the children away or isolating the woman from family and friends.
