Violence against women includes a wide range of abusive behaviours including:

• domestic abuse
• emotional abuse
• rape
• incest and childhood sexual abuse
• sexual harassment and intimidation at work and in the public sphere
• commercial sexual exploitation, including prostitution, pornography and trafficking
• dowry related violence
• female genital mutilation
• forced and child marriages
• “honour crimes”

Women and children are most commonly the victims.  But men can also experience a range of these abusive behaviours. There are support agencies that can help.
