The Domestic Violence Issue No One Is Talking About

It was British Prime Minister Theresa May who astutely said: “You can’t solve a problem as complex as inequality in one legal clause.” This remark comes to mind when we, as lawmakers, deal with combatting the complexities of domestic violence. We all know that abuse does not always take the same form. Domestic violence often finds expression in means beyond physical assault that are no less injurious. We commonly hear of mental and emotional abuse, for example.
