The aggressor could be a family member, friend, flatmate or partner. It can happen to anybody, but the majority of victims is female and offenders are mostly men.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic violence is a regular, repetitive, abusive behaviour. The <strong>abusive behaviour<\/strong> can be of physical, sexual and psychological nature. For example, threats, humiliation, social isolation, beatings, forced sexual intercourse and abuse are some forms of domestic violence. None of these belong into a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, domestic violence happens behind closed doors, usually at home. This way, the offenders hide their abusive behaviour and prevent help and intervention.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that any and all forms of violence are illegal and punishable. Since 1997, the police is able to remove offenders from their homes to protect the victims based on the <strong>Austrian Violence Protection Act<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-41246adb82eb20f9271331161b8c66cb hr-short  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-loeex9qo-5fd573cf28ed8938bae67ff216f93c2e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"What are the causes of domestic violence against women?\">What are the causes of domestic violence against women?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many <strong>myths<\/strong> surrounding the causes of domestic violence against women. For example: Men can\u2019t control their anger. Alcohol makes men aggressive. Women would leave their aggressive partners if they wanted to. None of these are true.<\/p>\n<p>Research has shown that there are two main causes for domestic violence. Firstly, <strong>power and resources<\/strong> are unevenly distributed between men and women, which leads to a hierarchy that is conducive to violence. Secondly, our society has developed <strong>rigid gender roles<\/strong>, defining what men and women can or should do. This leads to attitudes and a mindset that allows for domestic violence to happen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-d44fc39111d0c978a5983dec14bfcf71 hr-short  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jy4ae4sq-6ab8a152f2767636b4ec976215df964a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"Violence against women: How to recognize domestic violence?\">Violence against women: How to recognize domestic violence?<\/h2>\n<p>It can be really difficult to notice domestic violence as an outside observer.

Nevertheless, there are some indicators for domestic violence.

The most important thing is that you listen carefully and don\u2019t put pressure on them.<\/p>\n<p>Try to establish trust with the victim by explaining that you will be there for her and that you\u2019re trying to help her and will not tell the offender anything.
