A Note on Our Use of Pronouns

Because the vast majority of domestic violence is committed by men against women, this page may contain the female gender pronoun when referring to the abused person. All the information in this section is relevant for male victims and for individuals in same-gender relationships. In addition, please see our resources on same-gender relationships.
