Definition of Abuse Woman Abuse is the intentional and systematic use of tactics to establish and maintain power and control over a woman's thoughts, beliefs and conduct through the inducement of fear and/or dependency.
Control tactics are based on a range of personal, institutional and cultural beliefs, including the assumption of male privilege, which support the perpetrator's feelings of entitlement to behave in this way. Control tactics can include but are not limited to: physical and sexual violence, threats, isolation, economic deprivation, attacks on a woman?s personality and mind, coercive use of children and entrapment.
