What is Domestic Abuse (also called Domestic Violence):

According to Wikipedia:

Domestic violence is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly.

There are many websites and apps available to assist in obtaining information about this topic, as well as what to do if you find yourself in a Domestic Violence situation.

My company, Connecting People Software, has developed a free app to assist in obtaining information and resources about Domestic Violence. It's available on the iOS app store for free and currently has a five star rating. For more information about the app, click here.
