Abuse is a pattern of coercion and control that one person in a relationship exercises over another. In an abusive relationship, knowledge can be power. Educating victims, family, friends and the community about domestic violence and to increase awareness of its existence is critical if we are to decrease the frequency in which it occurs.

"If the numbers we see in domestic violence were applied to terrorism or gang violence, the entire country would be up in arms, and it would be the lead story on the news every night."
-Representative Mark Green, U.S. Congress
