Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is a pattern of behaviors designed to control a partner. These behaviors can hurt physically, sexually, psychologically and financially.
- Physical-grabbing, punching, pushing, slapping, kicking, murder
- Psychological- emotional and verbal abuse
- Sexual- Unwanted sexual words or touching, forced or coerced sexual activity, and rape

More than 32 million Americans are affected by domestic violence each year, and more than three women are murdered each day. Saving Promise blends innovative programs and advocacy campaigns to strengthen domestic violence awareness in your community and around the nation.
