Domestic violence is abuse that happens in a personal relationship. It can happen between past or current partners, spouses, or boyfriends and girlfriends. Domestic violence affects men and women of any ethnic group, race, or religion; gay or straight; rich or poor; teen, adult, or elderly. But most of its victims are women.
Below is a selection of books to help survivors overcome their experiences with physical, verbal, or sexual abuse in any relationship. If you are currently experiencing domestic violence and live in British Columbia, please contact VictimLink BC at 1-800-563-0808.
