About family violence

No to Violence works with men who use violence.

Family violence is a pattern of abusive and controlling behaviour that takes many different forms. It happens within intimate relationships as well as between family members and is rarely a one-off incident.

Family violence can affect anyone, regardless of sex, age, race, sexuality, disability, income, gender or lifestyle. However, violent behaviour is most frequently used by men, as a way to exercise power and control over women and children.
