DATING VIOLENCE- How does it manifest?

Dating violence is all about power and control. It manifests in five different ways:

-Verbal Abuse (put downs, yelling, etc)
-Physical Abuse (hitting, hurting, harming, etc)
-Emotional Abuse (making someone feel at-risk or in danger, physiological harm, etc)
-Sexual Abuse (forcing or coercing into any kind of unwanted sexual activity)
-Abuse of Male Privilege (using male power to achieve unfair desires- like forcing women to stay home and raise children even if they would rather work and share the childcare)
