It is important to note that physical violence often occurs in conjunction with other forms of violence. Many people mistakenly believe that violence only refers to physical abuse, but the reality is more complex. There are many types of violence, including
psychological,
sexual,
economic,
material and
digital violence, as well as
stalking. In addition, there are also
honor-related conflicts and
violence against children.
Within intimate relationships, physical violence often occurs alongside one or more of the other forms of violence, making it a complex problem that requires special attention and support.
