Breaking the Silence: Understanding the Complexity of Family Violence

Breaking the Silence: Understanding the Complexity of Family Violence

Steve Herd is an expert in the field of family violence. In our first of a series of conversations, he explains that family violence is not just physical abuse. It includes emotional, psychological and sexual abuse as well. The abuser uses various tactics to maintain control over their partner, such as isolating them from friends and family, controlling their finances, and limiting their access to information.

Herd also highlights the role of gender in family violence. He explains that men are more likely to use physical violence to control their partners. He argues that this is because society has traditionally given men more power and control over women, which has led to a sense of entitlement among some men.

Overall, our conversation with Steve Herd sheds light on the complexity of family violence and its damaging effects on individuals and families. Understanding the root causes and different forms of abuse is crucial in order to prevent and respond to this pervasive issue.
