• Physical abuse - assault and physical attack involving a range of behaviour
• Sexual abuse - acts which degrade and humiliate women and are perpetrated against their will, including rape
• Mental and emotional abuse - such as threats, verbal abuse, racial abuse, withholding money and other types of controlling behaviour such as isolation from family or friends
