What is abuse? What is violence?
Abuse and violence are the same thing. If someone
is being violent towards someone else for any reason, then they
are abusing them. Self-defence is not violence. Violence is
about power and control.
Abusers use violence in order to get power and control
over other people and to make the abusers feel good about themselves.
It is wrong to do this, whatever their reasons.
There are different types of violence -
physical, emotional or sexual violence. It can also be used
to bully someone.

Nobody has the right to abuse you.
