TITLE IX

EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO STOP SEXUAL VIOLENCE

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors used to establish power and control over an intimate partner often leading to the threat or use of violence. Abuse is any controlling, hurtful act, word, or gesture that injures anothers body or emotions. Domestic violence is not a disagreement, a marital spat, or an anger management problem. There is no excuse for domestic violence.

    • Calls you names, insults you or continually criticizes you.
    • Does not trust you and acts jealous or possessive.Tries to isolate you from family or friends.
    • Monitors where you go, who you call, and who you spend time with.
    • Controls finances or refuses to share money.
    • Expects you to ask permission.

    You may be in a physically abusive relationship if you partner has ever:

    • Damaged property when angry (thrown objects, punched walls, kicked doors)
    • Pushed, slapped, bitten, kicked, or choked you.
    • Abandoned you in a dangerous or familiar place.
    • Used a weapon to threaten or hurt you.
    • Forced you to leave your home. Kept you from leaving.
    • Prevented you from calling police or seeking medical attention.
