Family violence is a pattern of behaviour where one person tries to dominate and control the other. You can find more information about family violence in different languages via the Victorian Government’s Health Translations site.
Not all family violence is physical- it can be about controlling another person’s actions, appearance, finances and social interactions too. You can find out about that in our resources about coercive control: Understanding Coercive Control- Simple English Guide for Migrant and Refugee Women.
