Anyone Can Be Hurt

Violence and abuse have many different faces. Physical acts such as pushing, shoving, grabbing, slapping, punching, and using an object or weapon, are clearly abusive. But so are other things like jealous outbursts, name-calling and unwanted sexual advances. All of them cause a great deal of pain. Anyone can be hurt in these and other ways. Even you…at any time.
