Discussion

Domestic violence is violence within the couple. It is an evolutionary process in which a partner engages, as part of a privileged relationship, domination expressed through physical aggression, psychological, sexual, economic or spiritual. Domestic violence has serious consequences for victims and for their children. It is well documented that the presence of violence against women in a household or society corresponds with an increased likelihood that children are also victims of violence, either directly or indirectly, through witnessing violence against women.

Children under the age of 5 are disproportionately represented among children who witness violence against women, who are most often their mothers. Preschool-aged children exposed to domestic violence are more likely to exhibit the following patterns than their peers: behavior problems, social difficulties, posttraumatic stress syndrome, greater trouble developing empathy, and less-developed verbal skills.

The victim of domestic violence is often reluctant to leave the perpetrator, even for the sake of the children involved.
