Any form of unwanted disruption in the lives of the victim is considered this type of abuse. This kind of abuse tends to happen after the victim has left the abuse situation and is trying to move on with their lives. Therefore, as a result, the partner reacts in this abusive manner. Although there are many other ways violence is inflicted against women, physical and sexual abuse are the most common from an intimate partner.
The impact of violence on women is more than superficial. The physical affect it has on the women is simply the appearance of the body. Several examples would be the women having broken bones, black eyes, bruises, and in some cases bleeding. This physical abuse can be detrimental to these women’s health and can even lead to death (International Center for Research on Women,2010). More importantly violence can bring upon an emotional impact. Emotionally, women can become distressed, emotionally numb, angry, and even horribly afraid (Office on Women’s Health,2011).
