Sexual assault can happen to anyone at any age, and it can be committed by intimate partners as well as parents, caregivers, friends, and strangers.
Sexual violence was seen historically as a phenomenon that only affected women and was seen as natural in both times of peace and conflict. This resulted in the disregard of any clues as to the nature, scope, and severity of such violence.
Emotional Violence: Controlling and manipulating others emotionally is referred to as emotional abuse. It involve verbal abuse, rejection and gas-lightening.
