Violence affects women:
- in all parts of the country
- across all social classes
- across all age groups
Violence can therefore affect anyone—you and me included
A woman affected by violence is often inclined to seek an explanation for the violence within herself. This happens despite the fact that violence is generally unpredictable, as she usually cannot pinpoint a specific action that triggers it.
