Violence against women isn't just physical. Emotional, mental and psychological abuse hurts just as much and causes wounds we can't see...but they are there swelling underneath the surface. Because it's not tangible, it can be harder to diagnose, believe and accept. But violence and abuse is about control. Someone doesn't have to hit you to exert control, words and actions have just as much power.
